Soon to be an ABC reality series entitled Ultimate Surfer, starring 11-time World Surf League champion Kelly Slater.

Eleven-time world surfing champion, actor, and American heartthrob Kelly Slater tells his inspiring story of triumph over adversity.

From Beach Blanket Bingo to Baywatch to Blue Crush, surfing has fascinated people for years, and Kelly Slater is the sport’s hottest star. 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, a stint on Baywatch, 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 takes the listener into 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.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I enjoyed the author’s account of his life. The narrator was fine, but I wish he had looked up how to pronounce the names of the places Kelly wrote about. The way he was saying “Hatteras” was killing me haha. I grew up near there and I cringed every time he said it.

Interesting life story of the GOAT of surfing

interesting how someone can be so good at something and be so focused on one thing from so early on.

good book

This guy doesn't take the time to learn how to pronounce a lot of names and places. Being from North Carolina his pronunciation of Hatteras is like a slap in the face each time.

Hey a narrator who bothers to learn pronunciation.

New narrator.
Boring monotone voice wrecks story

Inability to pronounce names of companies, contests, people and places wrecks story

Redo entire book

it's nice and entertaining enough. i wanted to finish it as I was listening but it wasn't super captivating. i put it on during walks and it was perfect to listen do during them.

Nice insight into Kelly's life.

I didn't know much about Kelly Slater before. Story was a little long-winded and egotistical. But i guess if you figured out the strategy to win so many contests and so often, it's to be expected. If I hadn't been painting the house while I was listening, it may have been an in-progress book in my library for a long time.

I was a bit shocked, not in a good way, the words he wrote about his French stalker. The way he described her (hideous and at least 40 years old) and the fact that he could have killed her (holding her against the wall with a 12 ft fall with her 3 year old child hitting his leg and bringing him to his senses). Not sure if he is misogynistic or at the end of his rope. (BTW, a very short portion of the book - so don't buy it solely to hear this story).

Narrator pronunciation left a lot to be desired. Especially when he called Ocean Pacific "Op" instead of OP (O.P.) A little coaching would have been nice in name pronunciation would have helped the audiobook.

I may check out other better rated surf memoirs. It didn't turn me off from surf- themed books completely. But this guy's ego was a bit much.

It was just ok

great story

I loved Kelly’s humility and honesty in all aspects of his life. I loved the way he looked after his Dad in his painful last years. Kelly did the right thing with his dying Dad even though his Dad fell far short as a father. Kelly gives full credit to so many other great surfers and shows us how great surf spots exist all over the world. My only constructive criticism is to have the narration edited for correct pronunciation of key places and surf spots around the world., I have been to many of those places and the book loses credibility when so many key spots like Hatteras and Hossegor are repeatedly mispronounced. I have seen this in many audible books . I do not know how an 11 tune world surf champion could allow this to happen. Perhaps it was completely out of his hands???prefer the audible books that are read by the author even if they do not have a professional sounding voice.

A great audible book none the less. Thanks for sharing this part of your life story Kelly!

Great story but weak narration!

The narrator is clearly not a surfer or surf fan. The incessant blunders of pronunciation just took me out of the story. Did any editor listen to it before releasing it? Kelly definitely did not. Many a surf commentator could have done a beautiful job with this. Having heard Kelly discuss a lot of the content in his many interviews during contests, all the spoken gaffes while in the first person narration just ruined it. Mr. Haberkorn should have checked some Youtube videos if he was unsure about some of the text. Where in South America is Cape Hateras?
I enjoyed hearing about the first half of Kelly's career when I was not following surfing and being from Cocoa Beach, I enjoyed the common threads where some of our friends overlapped despite 10 years difference in our ages. It was hard to hear Brevard County mispronounced over and over again.

Narration annoying

Great "Reading" for a surfer, longtime fan... surprised he was once scaried of Bigsurf, and of how tiring can the tour be.

Geting to Known Kelly...
