Kelly Slater — The Surfing Legend on Routine, Rickson Gracie, Favorite Books, and Overcoming Setbacks | Brought to you by <a href="http://dryfarmwines.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dry Farm Wines</a>, <a href="http://helixsleep.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helix Sleep</a>, and <a href="https://drinklmnt.com/tim" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LMNT</a>. “When you’re humble, you’re teachable.” — Kelly SlaterKelly Slater&nbsp;(<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kellyslater/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kellyslater</a>) is widely considered the greatest surfer of all time. He holds nearly every major record in the sport, including 11 world titles and 55 career victories. He also has the amazing distinction of being both the youngest and oldest world champion in men’s history. His most dominant days were the mid-’90s, when he won five straight titles between 1993 and 1998.After topping Mark Richards’ previous record of four straight titles, Kelly tried his hand at retirement in 1999 but failed. He rejoined the tour full-time in 2002, and over the following five years faced his toughest rival in Hawaii’s Andy Irons, who got the better of him for three straight years. Their heated battles became the most compelling in the sport’s history, propelling it to new heights. Kelly finally reclaimed the title in 2005 and repeated in 2006. Kelly swapped titles with Mick Fanning in the years that followed.Kelly will also be remembered for the wave pool technology that he and his team of engineers at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.kswaveco.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kelly Slater Wave Co.</a>&nbsp;brought to life in 2015, which has the potential to reshape the surfing landscape for generations.Please enjoy!
