At 39 years old Slater, who originally hails from Cocoa Beach, Fla., has the distinction of being the youngest and oldest world champion in professional surfing. In a career that's spanned 20 years (1991 was his rookie season), he's won a record 48 tour events, over three million dollars in prize money, and now a seemingly impossible eleven world titles. His first title came in '92, and by '98 he had accrued a total of six. He then stepped away from competition for two years, returning to the tour in 2001 and winning his first "comeback" crown in 2005.
