About the Book
"A revealing, photographic portrait of 11-time world champion Slater, one of the greatest and most admired surfers in the world"--Book Synopsis
A revealing, photographic portrait of 11-time world champion Slater, one of the greatest and most admired surfers in the world. Glaser's extensive archive of stunning images--a vast majority of which are previously unseen--is a riveting compilation of some of the best and most iconic images of Kelly Slater in and out of the water. High-action shots of Slater doing what he does best in the vibrant hues of the best waves in the world, in the South Pacific, Australia, Hawaii, California, and Europe, Glaser's photographs immerse us in the power of the ocean and awaken our thirst for exploration. This collection celebrates fifteen years of Slater's exhilarating adventures, from 2008 to 2023: Slater's most iconic surf sessions including the first-ever wave ridden at his Surf Ranch, as well as behind-the-scenes shots inside Slater's home, from his famous morning pancakes to strumming guitar with his friends. With personal narration by Slater throughout, this book offers a seldom-seen portrait of surfing's brightest star in his element, guided by Glaser's irrefutable passion for his craft.Review Quotes
"You didn't think Kelly Slater was going to just ride off into the sunset after he hung up his jersey, did you? In the last week alone, he's dropped a new surfboard model with Slater Designs and released a first-of-its-kind shirt made of seaweed via his brand Outerknown. And now it's time to talk about the forthcoming book he's been working on with longtime friend and collaborator Todd Glaser. The book, "Kelly Slater: A Life of Waves," features words by Slater, photos by Glaser and a special foreword by Pearl Jam frontman and Slater friend Eddie Vedder." -- SURFER MAGAZINE
