Product Description
Product Description
No one knows eight-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater better than Kelly himself. In this revealing and heartfelt illustrated tribute, written with surfing veteran Phil Jarratt, the world's best surfer riffs on a life filled with big wins, big money, and big loves. Interviews with friends and fellow surfers unearth juicy anecdotes, and hundreds of photographs-some never before published-capture the greatest victories and the quietest moments in equal measure. This beautifully produced book marks the first time Slater's story has been told in full colour, and reflects the latest twists and turns in an incredible and unconventional life.

So, chances are if you are considering buying this book then you know who Kelly Slater is. Well this book is all about Kelly!!! It is written by Kelly and is a selection of photographs and comments about his life and there are also contributions from people who have known Kelly over the years. It is not really as biographical as Pipe Dreams, although it does cover his career over the decades. The main point of this book is about the photos!
The photographs in this book are fantastic, its well laid out and is easy to pick up. I find myself flicking through it just to look at the pictures. There is a good selection, covering all parts of his life, including some good action sequence shots. Even if you are not Kelly's biggest fan it is a good book just for the surfing photos.
Overall, 5/5, its a great book to have lying around to pick up, flick through and get an insight into one of surfing's greatest heroes!

This is a great 'coffee table' book; the kind you can either read cover to cover or just flick through randomly. The photography is stunning and it's great to read the stories behind the pictures. There is no denying that Kelly is lovely to look at but there is so much more to him than the surfer we see out in the comps: he has opinions, stories and life experience away from the board and these are shared in this book. A must for any Kelly fan.
