Hey Kelly Slater, last night before I went to bed, I read a great article in Sports Illustrated on the life of Kelly Slater. It is an excellent article. Basically talked about how he started surfing in the florida area - Cocoa beach was mentioned a lot. How his Dad became an alcoholic and his Mother left with him and his two sisters.
How when he first came to ouahu, the first time he saw how huge the waves were, he got terrified and didn't know if he could do it. And now look at him - he is universally regarded as the greatest surfer who has ever lived, they call him the Michael Jordan of surfing.
It's in the April 12, 2004 issue of Sports Illustrated - the current one on newsstands now.
Thought you might wanna read the article. It was a great article.
