EVOLUTION of a 10 times ASP World Champion, Kelly Slater, from frothing grom to surfing ambassador.

"I used to play a game with myself when I was a kid where used to say to myself that if I can catch that wave then I'll win like six or seven world titles. It's turned out to be true." Kelly Slater

So what next for Kelly Slater do you think? He's been invited to compete at Mavericks for The Jay at Mavericks Big Wave Invitational and rumours of a big wave career keep circulating.

Where would you like to see him competeing next? In the big stuff or trying for world title number 11?

	Not only is he an amazing surfer but an amazing actor as well. Forget going for number 11, I think him and pam should put their heads together and try to shoot another season of Baywatch !!!

	love it! especially the bit at the end, where he modestly says he dosnt know how he's gonna do, then looks into the camera and you can see the hunger in his eyes even from that young age. the man is quite simply a legend.

	Kelly is our worlds version of a superhero in the water, but its what he does out of the waves that makes him a legend. Too many sports have champions that are arrogant and rude, we have a nice guy having fun at work and winning endlessly.... A true champion......

	The man's an extremely well oiled machine and is unstoppable. He just gets better as he gets older. Its time to go for "KE11Y"!! Retiring would be a BEEEEG mistake! Plenty of time for big wave surfing young man! Make the youngsters work for a title. Its been a privilage to be able to follow Kellys rise to 10 world titles. I'm not sure when we will or if we will ever see this kind of achievement again. Not in my lifetime anyway. WELL DONE CHAMP YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION!
