He's the epitome of a natural - a guy who was winning surf contests while standing up on a bodyboard at age 6. He can literally ride waves on your front door. He's been famous since he was 12, has been sponsored by Quiksilver since he was 18, is both the oldest world champ ever and the youngest, and wears the crown as the greatest surfer in history. His accomplishments are the stuff of legend: A record 8 World Titles, 5 Pipe Masters wins, Eddie Aikau win, major label album, best selling autobiography and video game and surf accessory company, host of Sirius Radio show and celebrity surf event in Fiji. He's incredibly competitive. Once his surf career is over, he wants to be a pro golfer and poker player. When he plays both, he loves to bet and talk trash and hates to lose. He's a big sports fan and loves to watch golf, tennis and basketball on TV. His favorite show is probably Sportscenter, but also loves cheesy <b>...</b>

2011 SURFER Poll Men's No. 1: Kelly Slater
In 2011, Slater picked up his 11th ASP World Title as well as his 17th SURFER Poll No. 1 trophy. There's never been another surfer like him, and the landslide he wins SURFER Poll by each year is a testament to the dominance he's exerted over four generations of surfers. In fact, making an argument that he's the best athlete of all time doesn't take much of a leap of faith.
