[edit] ISRAELI INCIDENT
Not sure why this temporary stalkerazzi incident should be part of his permanent bio. Not really any defining moment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.238.208 (talk) 02:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
There are several facts wrong on the Kelly Slater write up. For one, he doesn't have a son, he has a daughter who is ten years old named Taylor.
[edit] GUN
HE is a gun. In tahit he scored a perfect 20 gun! GO GAZZA 7A IN N.V.S.S hehehehehehe

[edit] Kelly's Opinion
Anyone have anything on what Mr. Slaters view on ho-dads or gremmies is?69.250.191.122 23:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC) Hey kelly This is your 2 best fans you inspired us to surf we love you u r awesome thanku so much from samantha and connah portwaikato newzealand.23/8/07 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.152.113.23 (talk) 02:55, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] First Line
"Kelly Slater (b. Robert Kelly Slater February 11, 1972, Cocoa Beach, Florida) is the most successful professional surfer in the history of the sport."
Isn't this a little too vague? The whole line doesn't really say much. It sounds like an opinion. Maybe a bit of data should precede this statement to create a credible basis for the judgement. --Antonio.sierra 05:40, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Muslim?
Is there any source around that Kelly Slater is Muslim? --Shamir1 00:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've been looking around on the Internet a little since I removed this, but haven't found anything. The fact tag isn't a bad way to go, but removing it and adding it back if it's found is appropriate too - religion isn't normally encyclopedic unless the subject has made a point of it. -- SiobhanHansa 01:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Syrian parents?
Is it confirmed that Slater is of Syrian descent, but that does not mean that his parents are Syrian. Perhaps only one is, perhaps it is even a third generation,... Remember everything must be verifiable. --Shamir1 00:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
No, his parents are not Syrian, where do people come up with this stuff? In his own words, one of his great grandfathers was of Syrian descent.
[edit] Muito bem
Muito bem feito —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.243.208.143 (talk) 15:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Actually he's Syrian and proud. Many successful, intelligent people are Middle Eastern. So GOD where do you come up with your own assumptions! Heres an article: He's also part Muslim, and Im white by the way so before you get your honkey thong in a twist!!!
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 19 October, 2007 : - - Eight-time world champion Kelly Slater tested the Mediterranean waters Friday in a visit to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace. Slater, of Syrian descent, was visiting Israel for three days to join activities of the groups "Surfing for Peace" and "One Voice."
An 86-year-old Jewish member of Surfing for Peace, Dorian Paskowitz, asked Slater to come to Israel to promote the group's efforts to bring Israelis and Palestinians together through the sport, said his son, David. "My father asked him if he was ready to be not only great surfer but a great man as well," David Paskowitz said.
Slater sang with a local band at a Tel Aviv beach concert Friday and planned to visit areas around the country on Saturday, Paskowitz said. Israel has severely limited travel to the coastal territory of Gaza since the Islamic Hamas group seized the area in bloody fighting in June. Dorian Paskowitz, a retired doctor who has been surfing for 75 years, donated 12 surfboards to Gaza's small surfing community in August. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.109.148.129 (talk) 03:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
He said in his autobiography that one of his grandfathers or greatgrandfather was of Syrian descent, that's all.

[edit] Birthplace?
The intro says, "(b. Robert Kelly Slater February 11, 1972, Cocoa Beach, Florida)". The story says, "Slater was born "Robert Kelly Slater" on February 11, 1972 in [[Manhattan Beach,California]." Which is correct? Unimaginative Username (talk) 02:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
