Manage episode 412969068 series 3394393
At 52 Kelly Slater is confronting his professional mortality. Eliminated at Margaret River and therefore cut from the World Tour he spoke candidly about the end of his career. He's defied Father Time to compete for 33-years, so it's on brand that he might defy retirement to compete in a few more events as a wild card. We speak to a man who's competed against Slater to understand the American's legacy, why he's finished and how he changed the sport. Featured: Luke Egan, Australian surfing legend.
