Kelly Slater, who apparently spends as much time in the water as he does on land, describes the exciting yet exhausting lifestyle of a pro surfer. He talks about growing up in Florida, discovering his love of surfing, and where he finds his motivation.

Kelly is nine times ASP World Champion, and is both the youngest and oldest world title winner, his first at age 20, and most recent at 36.
