The inspiring autobiography by the eleven-time world champion and star of The Ultimate Surfer—includes many personal photos. From Beach Blanket Bingo to Baywatch to Blue Crush, surfing has fascinated people, and Kelly Slater is arguably the greatest surfer of all time. He has won more world championships than any other competitor, and he continues to change peoples' minds about what can and can't be done on a surfboard. His wild ride has included fame, fortune, and a high-profile relationship with Pamela Anderson. Not bad for a skinny kid from a broken home in Cocoa Beach, Florida. In Pipe Dreams, Kelly journeys to oceans around the world to take on thunderous walls of water and shares the outrageous stories, solemn moments, and undeniable spirit that have made him a superstar—and taught him how to triumph over adversity. "Slater has many lively stories to tell, about his friendships with the many great surfers at the famous 'Pipeline' area of Oahu, his run-ins with surfing groupies and his ill-fated role in the TV series Baywatch." —Publishers Weekly
