Description
Kelly Slater's journey to becoming one of the world's most loved sports figures is a story of struggle and triumph. Born in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Slater found surfing as a way to escape problems at home, including his parents' divorce when he was just 11 years old.
As his surfing career took off, Slater made the transition into acting and modelling, starring on the popular television show Baywatch and appearing in Versace ads. But it's the stories that have influenced his life and inspired him to overcome both personal and professional hurdles that are shared in Pipe Dreams.
This memoir offers a unique insight into the life of one of surfing's biggest stars, revealing the experiences and lessons that have shaped Slater's journey towards achieving his dreams.
