Kelly Slater is one of the biggest names in surfing — he’s won the World Surf League Championship a record 11 times, including five consecutive titles in 1994–98. But at age 45, it might be time to get out of the water.
Because as we learned in Jaws and all of its sequels, sharks hold grudges.
Slater earned the wrath of environmentalists recently when he called for a cull on sharks on Reunion Island, the French-governed island off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It was the site of a fatal shark attack of a surfer last week.
