Is Kelly Slater an unstoppable surfing machine

Can Kelly Slater take the ASP World Tour for a record tenth time in 2009?
Although some critics have branded surfing as ‘being’ and ‘predictable’ through the dominance on one man, there is no doubting Kelly Slater is a superb athlete.
Looking to win his 10th ASP World Tour, King Kelly still looks pretty unbeatable in 2009. Slater is the epitome of his sport and unlikely to be rivalled in his dominance of surfing. The Florida born legend was the youngest surfer to have ever taken the world crown, as well as the oldest.
Although many have risen to challenge the champion, and sometimes taken the battle, the war has always belonged to Slater.
The champion seems ready to take on the best surfers in the world once again in 2009. Slater will battle it out in some of the planet’s best surf, to try and make his already ridiculous record even more spectacular. It seems winning is something as natural to him as breathing oxygen.
Last year Slater won six out of the eleven events on the World Tour, claiming victories at both the Gold Coast and Bells Beach in Australia.
The surfing legend also won at Tavarua in Fiji, Super Tubes in Jeffreys Bay, Trestles in the USA and Pipeline in Hawaii.
The 2009 ASP World Tour kicks off in February in Australia, at the Gold Coast, and ends in December at Banzai Pipeline in Hawaii, with in between stops at some of the most beautiful, and most dangerous, breaks on the planet.
Will Kelly Slater take the Tour for the tenth time this year? He is certainly on the role, and if history is anything to go by, the King of surfing has proven that once he’s found his groove, he’s unstoppable.
