Kelly Slater would not switch career with Tom Brady
To have a career like Tom Brady is definitely luring, but the surfing legend Kelly Slater is happy with his extraordinary career. When asked to choose between his own career and that of Tom Brady’s, the surfer, without any hesitation, said, “I’d have mine.”
Kelly further added, “I just think what I do is the most fun thing in the world. I love surfing more than anything, although I really admire Tom; what he’s done has been amazing and I’m a fan. I grew up a Bucs fan from the time I was born. It was the only team I was a fan of…”
Hanging out at the Oscars with friends
Perhaps the sports Kelly is so proud of is the reason he was on the red carpet of the Oscars. Along with the snowboarder Shaun White and skateboarder Tony Hawk, Kelly was also part of the sports trio at the most prestigious award show.
