The last line gets him the title of the greatest,

tiger woods could do that in one night.

Yep but then he'd lose all his sponsors, his family and wouldnt be able to play as well anymore.

Kelly on the other hand does it, gets paid more, lifts his performance and racks up a couple more titles beating kids less than half his age in a more dynamic, athletic way.

Slater - 11 in a row

Bjorn Dunkerbeck 12 world championships, covering 3 disciplines (waves sailing and racing beign completely different, nobody has been world champions in both like 5 or 6 times as he has)

Doggie, not taking anythign away from Slater he is awesome, just saying there are others.

Did he ever decide to skip a comp and still win the world championship? Cos thats what Slater did

He won so much I would bet there was plenty of years he could have given the last couple of events a miss and still have been world champ - but I'm not gonna sit down and do the math

I will wait with baited breath for the answer

Please use a calculator

you have to look at the dynamics of being pro surfer, or at least like him.

they are very fit- try paddling one of his size boards

balance, finesse , ability, agility, strenght,' bravery', determination- everything a top gymnastics champion has, plus ocean awareness, wave knowledge and so on

then add a competitive drive to stay ahead of the youngest and best for decades.

even the great MR only managed four titles


who else has done that with the requirements needed to stay at the top for decades.


golfers- don't make me laugh. sure its hard to win, but these guys hang around for lifetimes.

there are plenty of other elite sportsman outside surfing calling him one of the best ever

^^^ Lacey like I said - Bjorn. He did all that you mention in wave sailing but also in racing which is completely different.
And for more world titles than Kelly (so far lol)

Slater - fully awesome. But to say he is without competition by other sportsmen .... hmmmm.......

Fair call Mark. But hardly anyone windsurfs!

He competed in both to make up the numbers.Good lad that he was.

How many world titles does Robby Naish have?

Kelly is a girls name
