A celebrity: Kelly Slater

At 42 years young, Kelly Slater sits as the best surfer of all time having 11 world titles under his belt. He is not only the best surfer in the world, but he is also a singer, a skater, an actor, has his own food brand and has his own clothing brand. In his surfing he has changed the sport from scratch. Back in the 90's he was considered "the future of surfing" being able to ride surfboards as short as no one did at that time and barreling in them like if he did it everyday. He was the rookie of the year on 1991 and on 1992 we won the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) World Tour because he was the best performer in all 11 contests that took place through the year, all this with just 20 years old making him the youngest world tour champion in the history of ASP. 22 years later and he still sits at the top of the ratings making him what almost everyone calls him "the best athlete in the world".

What I love about him is the way he thinks and realizes stuff. He is a realist person with a spirit to help others and spreads good vibes. He is really open minded to new ideas and has a vast knowledge of things because he travels every corner of the world and that creates intelligence in a person. He is probably the best surfer there is and that there will always be because he has no comparation to any other surfer and maybe to any other athlete. 42 years young and he still kicks the ass out of young surfers and he has also adapted to the new "aerial surfing" probably better that anyone else.
