In the last week alone, hes dropped a new surfboard model with Slater Designs and released a first-of-its-kind shirt made of seaweed via his brand Outerknown. And now its time to talk about the forthcoming book hes been working on with longtime friend and collaborator Todd Glaser. The book, Kelly Slater: A Life of Waves, features words by Slater, photos by Glaser and a special foreword by Pearl Jam frontman and Slater friend Eddie Vedder." SURFER MAGAZINE
