Kelly Slater’s playful take on baldness

Halloween is the time to embrace our alter-ego and don the avatar that one looks up to. For a young fan, that person was Kelly Slater. With very little time left in his hands, the kid searched and got a ?WSL Slater 11 jersey?. Last night, he dressed up as the surfing icon and paired the jersey with a goat head headgear to symbolize the surfer?s greatest of all-time status. The 11-time WSL Champion was elated to see the beautiful gesture and could not help but express his gratitude to the fan. He shared the picture of the kid on his Instagram story and captioned it, ?Made the costume list! Just gotta shave your head now!?
