Kelly Slater is the greatest surfer of all time, an 11-time world champion and the recipient of the Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award.
Slater, a four-time winner of the Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year Award, received his latest Laureus from Robby Naish, the 24-time world windsurfing champion and a Laureus Academy Member.
In an emotional speech, Kelly Slater thanked the Academy and also admitted to goosebumps at hearing a famous voice narrate his tribute video. He added: “It was amazing to have my all-time favourite actor Bill Murray do the voiceover! He’s been around the surf world for 40 years, so he knows what he is talking about.”
