Call of the wild


Pro surfer Kelly Slater sounds off on the importance of preserving our planet’s H20.


IF THERE’S ANYONE who knows the importance of our oceans—not just for riding perfect barrels, but for keeping our planet healthy—it’s Kelly Slater. “Water has always been an important part of my life,” says the 45-year-old athlete. “It’s given me my career.” But that water is at risk— and Slater has seen the damage firsthand. “More than 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year, which is strangling animals, creating mountains of floating waste and getting into our seafood. So the decline of the ocean’s health is a decline in our own health.” Ever the optimist, however, he’s also seen the happiness surfing can bring, and has hope that it could be part of the solution. “If surfing allows more people to have positive moments of peace on the water and it gives them that connection to nature, it will inspire them to want to help to preserve those resources.” Here’s hoping. à Check out Slater’s line of #ITSNOTOK products at outerknown.com.
