Who is the greatest surfer of all time?
Kelly Slater is undoubtedly one of the all-time greats in the world of surfing, so it only makes sense to start off this list with him. Even those who aren’t very familiar with surfing have probably heard of Slater. He was born in Florida and won his first surfing competition at age 11. Slater, on the other hand, is known in the surf world as the Goat, the Greatest of All Time. With his 11 world titles and 55 career victories, he is both the youngest and oldest world champion in history. No other athlete comes close to matching Slater’s sporting prowess for such an extended period of time.
