Can you imagine Kelly Slater surfing in 1986? Herbie Fletcher says it was “raw talent at a young age.” Kelly Slater is the most successful professional surfer in the history of the sport. He won his first ASP World Tour title in 1992, and his last in 2011. The Floridian started pulling airs in a time when VHS tapes were a hit, and the expression “surfing the internet” made no sense at all. There were no social networks – only television, newspapers, and magazines showcased the sport of wave riding.
