At age 36, the second oldest surfer on the ASP, Kelly Slater is battering his opponents like an unstoppable Cat 5 hurricane. With his most recent win in South Africa, he's taken 4 of 5 events, and is so far ahead in points that only a complete meltdown—coupled with an equally amazing win streak by one of his competitors—could be his undoing at this point. Claiming it... he's going to be World Champion for the 9th time, probably by early September. SL8R is about to become SL9R. If you don't follow competitive surfing, imagine 7X Tour winner Lance Armstrong wallowing in retirement for a few more years, then coming back in say 2010, and winning 2 more, relatively easily. Yeah, he's that good.
