Slater’s Favorite California Wave

May 5th, 2008 by Adam

Slater and friends at Sandspit

Yes, Kelly Slater and Sandspit reunite once again. Now you can see why he is unmatched in the barrel. I am talking about the insane Sandspit breakwater located in Santa Barbara, CA and not the Sandspit some people might associate with sand dunes and Morro Bay. According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, Kelly Slater’s favorite surfing spots around the world include Kirra in Australia, Pipeline in Hawaii, and Sandspit in California.

Kelly Slater won his first world surfing title in 1992 at only 20 years young. Winning this surf title made Slater the youngest surfer EVER to be awarded this prestigious trophy. In a very short period of only 16 years, Slater has raked in a whopping 8 world titles. Kelly Slater is now 36 years old and is currently in first place, again. Tune into the next stop on the ASP World Tour to find out if Slater will go for three in a row.
