Environmental And Charity Projects
Kelly Slater likes to give back to the people and to the nature that allowed him to be what he is. He is/was active with different environmental and social projects:
Reef Check
Reef Check Foundation is an international non-profit organization dedicated to conservation of two ecosystems: tropical coral reefs and California rocky reefs. Coral reefs are the place where Kelly Slater and other surfers often find quality waves. But they are much more than that. They are complex ecosystems that are very sensible to any environmental change and to pollution. They are the litmus paper of what is going on in the worlds oceans. Even though these reefs seem remote, they are highly influenced by the pollution. As a part of this program Kelly Slater was often found on the ship called Indies Trader which traveled the worlds seas in search of waves and monitoring the conditions of the coral reefs.
The Borgen Project
The goal of the Borgen Project is to put pressure on the United States Congress and the White House to do right by the world’s poor. This is how much it would cost to solve some of the bigger problems humanity has:
$19 billion: Eliminates starvation and malnutrition globally.
$12 billion: Provides education for every kid on earth.
$15 billion: Provides access to water and sanitation.
$23 billion: Reverses the spread of AIDS and Malaria.
For instance $664 billion was the size of the U.S. Military budget in 2011.
Kelly Slater Foundation
The Kelly Slater Foundation is a not-for-profit organization located in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2007 by Nine Time World Surfing Champion Kelly Slater, the foundation’s mission is to raise awareness and financial support for existing social and environmentally conscious charities.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Sea Shephers are one of the more known ocean conservation organizations. Kelly Slater is a member of the Board of Advisors (the Ocean Advocacy Advisory Board). One other famous surfer that is know also for his actions on behalf of the Sea Shepherds is Dave Rastovich.
Kelly Slater is also involved in other humanitarian and charity activities and has donated his money and time to charities like the Florida School For Children of Downs Syndrome and the Life Rolls On Foundation.
Personal Life

Media follows him and try to dig up something on his private life. Kelly still tries and manages to keep his life hidden from the public and doesn’t like to expose himself too much to the media. Here are some details from Slater’s personal life:
Baywatch
In the 1992-3 season of Baywatch Kelly Slater acted in four episodes as a local aspiring surfer named Jimmy Slade. What might seem at first as a good idea to cash in his new found glory later became a stone around Kelly’s neck. Ridiculous plots, like fighting giant octopus got all the other surfers on the world tour chuckling and Kelly could not wait to get released from the contract with Baywatch. Even long afterwards, especially the Australian surfers on the world tour liked to refer to Kelly Slater as Jimmy to piss him off. It was on Baywatch where Kelly met Pamela Anderson.
Daughter Taylor

The principles that define Outerknown
Slater, a longtime advocate for sustainable living, wanted to create a lifestyle brand for everyone that was rooted in good design and sustainable production. He partnered with designer John Moore to make this idea a reality. Moore says, «We’re surfers who grew up with surf brands, but we grew out of logos. And we want to wear clothing that’s made better and looks better.»
That means using sustainable materials (over 90% of Outerknown’s products are made from organic, recycled, or regenerated materials) as well as using transparent and responsible manufacturing partners, who follow strict guidelines of safety and working conditions by the Fair Labor Association (FLA), Bluesign, and Fair Trade.
This commitment to sustainability and transparency means you’re going to pay more than usual for the clothing. Men’s shirts, for example, range from $78 to $148.

Slater points out to Business Insider, however, that «conscious development takes time and investment. There are added costs in creating quality product made to last, in finding and partnering with the right factories that value worker well-being, and in sourcing and leveraging materials that cause less harm.»
«At the end of the day, we’re looking at the long run and what’s best ‘For People and Planet.’ We’re putting in the work to build a truly sustainable model rather than zeroing in on short-term trends or financials,» he says.

The vibe of its clothes
Casual, effortless beach style defines Outerknown. As you shop its men’s and women’s styles, you can practically feel the cool and salty breeze run through your hair. They’re casual and low-maintenance, but they don’t look sloppy or haphazard.
Bestsellers from the brand include the cozy, heavyweight Blanket Shirt ($148, made from 100% organic cotton) and the simple, sleek Neptune Tank Dress ($98, made from hemp and Tencel Lyocell). Other offerings include sweaters, pants, and jumpsuits. They’re soft, comfortable, and importantly, durable.
Senior reporter Owen Burke says: «Having spent a good deal of my life in and amongst the surfing community, it’s hard not to want to love Outerknown from the start. Doing my best to be an objective reporter, I’ve scrutinously worn Outerknown for over six months, and I’ve run the brand’s shirts and pants through my treacherously cheap washing machine countless times. So far, I haven’t even turned up so much as a loose thread.»

Surfing career and records broken
Quiksilver, his longtime sponsor.
WORLD TITLES: Kelly Slater is 11 time world champion which is a record number of world title victories by far. Layne Beachley from Australia which is the most successful woman surfer of all times has 7 titles. Mark Richards, also from Australia that is second behind Slater has 5 world titles. Slater has won his titles in 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011.
AGE: He is the youngest (at age 20) and the oldest (at age 39) to win the world title.
VICTORIES: By winning the Boost Mobile Pro event at Lower Trestles near San Clemente, California in 2007 he became the all-time leader in career event wins. Today he has 60 victories of which 55 were WCT sanctioned events. By winning at Lowers in 2007 he surpassed his childhood hero and 3-time world champion Tom Curren, who is now second with 33 event victories.
HEAT WINS: He also has the most heat wins of all times.
TWO PERFECT TENS: In the 2005 Billabong Tahiti Pro contest at Teahupoo, Kelly Slater also became the first surfer who scored two perfect 10. This is the maximum possible amount of points in a surfing heat (it should be noted here that judging criteria used to be different and more that two waves were taken into the final score in the past).
A list of all Kelly Slaters Surfing Victories
If you count all the wins in this list you the number will be higher than the one stated above. This is because some other important but not WCT sanctioned events are listed here (like Eddie in Hawaii etc…) and some QS events as well. One more thing should also be pointed out – Kelly won his first world title in 1992, then enjoyed five consecutive wins from 1994 to 1998 and then RETIRED from competitive surfing. He came back from retirement in 2002 to claim the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011 world crowns.

Songs from the Pipe are mellow, kind of Beach Boys influenced songs. The title plays with the name of the most famous surfing spot – Pipeline on the island of Oahu, Hawaii which is also called simply Pipe. Songs actually recorded by guys who hang ten for a living are light, airy, and ultimately uplifting.

Pipe Dreams – A Surfers Journey
Pipe Dreams is Slater’s first biography.
Pipe Dreams – A Surfers Journey is Kelly Slaters first biography book published in 2003. The book takes you to the not so public side of Kelly Slater. It begins in the Cocoa Beach where Kelly survived his childhood, his life with his brother and his grommet surfing years. With Kelly’s success came travel and facing the international surfing circuit. And with his world championship titles came the media spotlight. It all piled up until Kelly realised surfing isn’t everything. Kelly Slater retired from the world cup tour only to come back later and win again.
Caption from the Pipe Dreams – A Surfers Journey: “I didn’t start surfing because I expected to be my career. It was something I just had a good time doing. But once I started, I couldn’t stop. Nothing compared to the thrill of riding waves, having the friendship and the lifestyle. I couldn’t have imagined that the magazines I studied from cover to cover would become a scrapbook for my friends and me or that heroes I never thought I’d meet, let alone surf against, would eventually become my good friends. And I couldn’t fathom that I would learn to thrive on the waves that scared me senseless.” by Kelly Slater
