Big plans of Kelly Slater

As a world-renowned surfer, Kelly Slater has to keep his brand the same as his level that is on top of everything. During the launch party, he was more concerned about the feedback that he got for the clothing outline. He wants to be “sustainable.”

He did put his name on the line for the brand, so he had to be responsible because it could make or break him. As money wasn’t an issue for him, he wanted to focus on the best quality his customers could get.
