‘Everything comes to an end’: Surfing great Kelly Slater hints at retirement – video

Kelly Slater’s long career appears to be coming to an end after the 52-year-old – widely recognized as the greatest surfer – missed the World Surf League’s mid-season cut in Margaret River. Missing the cut means he has not qualified for the remainder of the 2024 Championship Tour, nor for the start of next year. The 11-time WSL champion held back tears as he said: “Everything comes to an end. If you don’t adapt, you won’t survive.”
