He learned to make bullets from ammunition at the age of 8

He learned to make bullets from ammunition at the age of 8, “I grew up in a house with my older brother Sean and younger Steven. My dad, who was a really fun dad, would take us to the beach for fishing and camping and even taught us how to shoot and make ammo. Those were other times. My father was from the south, and today it would be very strange for me to have a closet full of guns at home, but at the time it was normal!

Somewhere in 1992

Somewhere in 1992, the year in which he would end up winning his first world title, Kelly Slater was more or less “forced” by his manager and his mother to accept a role in the most popular television series of the time. Between the ages of 20 and 21 and with a great future ahead of him, it was expected that his presence in the series would catapult him to another level of notoriety outside of surfing, something that happened, but not on the scale that was expected. The real result was that the (many) purists in the surfing community considered him a “sold out”, losing some credibility in the medium.

At age 20 he won his first world title and at 26 he won his sixth and retired from competitive surfing. At the time, retirement in surfing between the ages of 28 and 31 was common and Slater had already conquered everything there was, taking the opportunity to live everything he had not experienced until then. Even so, the news fell like a “bombshell” since he was the great icon of our sport and there wasn't (and never was) a successor up to his height. It wasn't known at the time, but his story was far from ending there and, even today, 23 years after announcing his retirement, he's still on the Championship Tour.

In the 90s and 00s

In the 90s and 00s, Kelly Slater was Quiksilver and Quiksilver was Kelly Slater. The presence of the two was almost confused and it seemed to be a relationship for life. The former world champion had been with the brand since he was 19 and even agreed to receive Quiksilver shares in lieu of some of his world title bonuses. But sometimes even the best “marriages” come to an end. Somewhere in the following decade the relationship began to shake, one of the important factors being the fact that Dane Reynolds was, at the time, better paid than Kelly. But there were other reasons and the “bomb” fell on a ridiculous date, April 1 (2014), the famous April Fools’ Day.

And, to everyone's surprise, less than two years later KS was releasing the first video of its own pool, with a new technology, flooding the internet with the first waves the day after Adriano de Souza won his world title, overshadowing a little bit of the feat of the Brazilian.

Kelly participated in BDPOC with her friends

Kelly participated in BDPOC with her friends, the acronym means Backdoor Paddle Out Contest. A game competition she used to do with her friends to see who could get outside Backdoor first with dry hair. The cool thing is, she had no rules. One could pull the string of the other, screw around and do everything for the friend to stay behind. They chose to enter through Backdoor instead of using the Pipe channel, just to become familiar with that dangerous part of the bench.
