Kelly Slater’s long career appears to be ending after the 52-year-old – widely acknowledged as the greatest surfer – missed the World Surf League’s mid-season cut at Margaret River. Missing the cut means he has not qualified for the rest of the 2024 Championship Tour, as well as the start of next year’s. The 11-time WSL champion was holding back tears as he said: “Everything comes to an end. If you don’t adapt, you don’t survive.”
