The popularity of Shaun White isn’t just exclusive to snowboarding. He is one of the very few athletes who has risen beyond the sport they have played. While the chapter of snowboarding is finally over for him, new opportunities are knocking at his door every single day. The most prominent of them came in the form of an invitation to be a presenter at the Oscars. Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 was the last event of Shaun White’s journey in the sport he has dominated for over 20 years. However, his last run wasn’t what he would have expected, but the legend has given enough moments to snowboarding to be cherished for a lifetime. WHO IS SHAUN WHITE’S DATE FOR THE OSCARS? Well, the answer to that question isn’t so obvious since Nina Dobrev is filming a project in Europe. Replacing Nina as Shaun’s date for the Oscars will be his mother, who is really excited about the event. Sharing his mom’s reaction to the news, Shaun said [https://www.justjared.com/2022/03/24/shaun-white-isnt-bringing-nina-dobrev-as-his-oscars-2022-date-heres-why/#google_vignette], “She’s so excited. I tried to, like, screen record her reaction, but the audio didn’t work. The things she said were incredible.” The Olympic champion was also not sure about whether he should accept the invitation, but then Nina pitched in and saved the day. Shaun further added [https://www.justjared.com/2022/03/24/shaun-white-isnt-bringing-nina-dobrev-as-his-oscars-2022-date-heres-why/#google_vignette], “I was supposed to go to Europe and meet up with Nina. And I was like, Hey, I got asked to do this thing, like, what do you think?’ And she was just, like, ‘You have to [go].’ … She’s like, ‘You have to do it.” READ MORE- Commentators Face Immediate Suspension After Abusive Comments on World Champion Go Live During World Figure Skating Championship 2022 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-figure-skating-commentators-face-immediate-suspension-after-abusive-comments-on-world-champion-go-live-during-world-figure-skating-championships-2022/] WHO ELSE WILL JOIN SHAUN WHITE AT THE OSCARS? Sharing the stage at Oscars with Shaun White will be his friend and mentor Tony Hawk and Eleven-time surfing world champion Kelly Slater. What a moment it will be to watch this trio from different extreme sports coming together in an award show. Perhaps it’ll be somewhat like watching Avengers. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1200x675.jpg] While the world will be cheering for all the nominees and the award winners, sports fans would be eager to see their real-life sports heroes on the stage.

<h3><b>Kelly Slater’s plan to retire from surfing</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Kelly Slater has teased his retirement from surfing several times now, but it seems like his heart is not done yet. He first revealed his plans of retiring from the sport in 2018, saying he will leave the sport when 2019 came. However, in 2022, he was still competing in the WSL Championship Tour. Now, he has revealed he might retire from the sport in 2024, but only after he tries out for the Paris Olympics. According to him, if he does qualify for the Olympics, he wants to retire after competing in the Olympics. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Slater almost qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, but was only able to make it as the reserve of the USA team. Now, it seems like he is vying for the ever-elusive Olympic medal before saying goodbye to the sport once and for all.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In the 2024 Paris Games, the surfing competitions will be held at Tahiti’s monster lefthand tube, Teahupo’o, a wave at which Kelly Slater has excelled in the past, which is one of the reasons he wants to try out for the team. He has hinted that he might retire this season, if he gets enough wins, though he has not confirmed the same.</span>
<h3><b>Kelly Slater’s girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, and daughter</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Kelly Slater is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-surfing-news-beautiful-way-surfing-legend-kelly-slater-proud-of-long-time-girlfriends-latest-venture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">currently dating Kalani Miller</a>, a surfer, artist, and former model from San Clemente, California, who runs a fashion label called ‘Mikoh’. The pair met at a surfing event held in San Diego in around 2006. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">They both decided to be together after having their first date in France. They have been together for more than 15 years. Miller is seen accompanying Slater on several Championship Tours to offer encouragement and was also present when he won the Billabong Pipe Masters in 2022 days before his 50th birthday.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In the past, Kelly Slater has dated his Baywatch co-star Pamela Anderson, the model Gisele Bundchen, and the famous actress Cameron Diaz. He also dated Tamara Mitchell, with whom he has his only daughter, Taylor Mitchell, who was born in 1996. Even though Kelly and Tamara have split, he enjoys an amicable relationship with his daughter Taylor, who is known to share pictures with him, including birthday messages, on social media. </span>
<h3><b>Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Kelly Slater always wanted to find out if humans could mimic the waves of the ocean. His vision was to create a soliton wave, i.e., a self-reinforcing solitary wave that maintains its shape while it propagates at a constant velocity. In 2006, Slater met up with Adam Fincham, a British amateur surfer and aerospace engineer with a specialization in geophysical fluid dynamics, who became the head scientist at KSWC. In 2007, he founded the Kelly Slater Wave Company to give effect to this dream. After a decade, he was able to realize it. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Slater named the venue the Surf Ranch, which comprises a 700 m-long lake in which the artificial waves are formed. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Surf Ranch is located in the Central Valley region of California in a town called Lemoore. The wave is created by a locomotive that moves along a track on the side of the pool and drags along a hydrofoil underwater which creates 6-foot barreling waves. These waves are WSL Certified Competitive waves. It is estimated that the Surf Ranch took up to $30 million to design, develop and build. The Surf Ranch is not open to the public in general. However, special groups can booking access can book sessions at the Surf Ranch, and a full-day pass can go up to $85,000 for 20 people. </span>

He has hinted that he might retire this season, if he gets enough wins, though he has not confirmed the same. Kelly Slater’s girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, and daughter Kelly Slater is currently dating Kalani Miller, a surfer, artist, and former model from San Clemente, California, who runs a fashion label called ‘Mikoh’. The pair met at a surfing event held in San Diego in around 2006. They both decided to be together after having their first date in France. They have been together for more than 15 years. Miller is seen accompanying Slater on several Championship Tours to offer encouragement and was also present when he won the Billabong Pipe Masters in 2022 days before his 50th birthday.

He also dated Tamara Mitchell, with whom he has his only daughter, Taylor Mitchell, who was born in 1996. Even though Kelly and Tamara have split, he enjoys an amicable relationship with his daughter Taylor, who is known to share pictures with him, including birthday messages, on social media.  Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch Kelly Slater always wanted to find out if humans could mimic the waves of the ocean. His vision was to create a soliton wave, i.e., a self-reinforcing solitary wave that maintains its shape while it propagates at a constant velocity. In 2006, Slater met up with Adam Fincham, a British amateur surfer and aerospace engineer with a specialization in geophysical fluid dynamics, who became the head scientist at KSWC. In 2007, he founded the Kelly Slater Wave Company to give effect to this dream. After a decade, he was able to realize it. Slater named the venue the Surf Ranch, which comprises a 700 m-long lake in which the artificial waves are formed. The Surf Ranch is located in the Central Valley region of California in a town called Lemoore. The wave is created by a locomotive that moves along a track on the side of the pool and drags along a hydrofoil underwater which creates 6-foot barreling waves. These waves are WSL Certified Competitive waves. It is estimated that the Surf Ranch took up to $30 million to design, develop and build. The Surf Ranch is not open to the public in general. However, special groups can booking access can book sessions at the Surf Ranch, and a full-day pass can go up to $85,000 for 20 people.   Name: Kelly Slater  Born: February 11, 1972  Place of Birth: Cocoa Beach, Florida, U.S.A.

<h2><b>Shaun White’s early life and family</b></h2>
Shaun White was born in San Diego, California on 3rd September 1986 to parents Cathy and Roger White.  He was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect for which he required two open-heart operations before the age of one.

Shaun graduated from California’s Carlsbad High School and didn't manage to enroll in college for he had already started to lay the foundation in the snowboarding arena.

The snowboarder has two siblings, Kari White (sister) and Jesse White (brother). His brother motivated him to take up snowboarding as a career. Interestingly, now Jesse White remains Shaun’s best friend and business manager. On the other hand, Kari White also chose a vocation in snowboarding and went with her brother to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
<h2><b>Shaun White’s snowboarding career</b></h2>
At a very early age, Shaun's talent was noticed by the legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk. Shaun started training under Tony at the age of 9, and by 16, he was a professional skateboarder. Interestingly, he had started his journey in skiing before switching to skateboarding.

White started competing at the X Games, and notably, he has clinched every medal at the games since 2000. In 2006, he made his maiden Olympics appearance at the Winter Olympics and clinched the gold medal in the half-pipe event.

In 2008, White released his own video game named <em>'Shaun White Snowboarding'</em>, which became the 20th best-selling game in the USA. White had his second Olympic appearance in 2010, at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and again clinched the gold medal.

<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-4026876743 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-4026876743" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-480292211.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---29520-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Tony Hawk?Â </b></h2>
What Michael Jordan is to basketball is Tony Hawk to skateboarding. One of the greatest skateboarders of all time, Hawk entertained the audience with his breathtaking skills. Likewise, he became the first person to perform a documented '900' skateboarding trick and has a licensed video game named after him. Moreover, he is one of the pioneers of skateboarding.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><b>Tony Hawkâ€™s early life </b></h2>
Born to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk in San Diego, California on May 12, 1968, he entered the world of skateboarding when he was eight years old. Significantly, he got his first sponsor at the age of 12 from Dogtown Skateboards while turning a professional at the very young age of 14. Thus, his career as a skateboarder begins. By the age of 16, he became one of the best skateboarders in the world.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>All about Tony Hawkâ€™s wife Catherine Goodman and kids</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tony Hawkâ€™s net worth 2024</b></h2>
The legendary skateboard did not rest on his laurels as he became a very successful entrepreneur, thereafter. According to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/skateboarders/tony-hawk-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, it stands at $140 million. The skater started a skateboarding company named Birdhouse which produced many boards and accessories for the sport. He started a clothing firm in 1998 that aimed to provide skating clothes for children.

Apart from being a legendary skateboarder, Hawk's deal with Activision in 1998 cemented his legacy as one of the greats. By collaborating with the company, both of them launched the video games series 'Tony Hawk Pro Skater' which sold 1.4 billion games to date.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tony Hawkâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
The legendary skateboarder became the National Skateboard Association world champion for 12 consecutive years; likewise, won 70 competitions in his career. Hawk invented many skateboarding moves like the gymnast plant, the ollie-to-Indy, the Saran wrap, and the frontside 540-rodeo flip.

However, things changed during the early 90s as skateboarding lost its charm. Hence, he was a pioneer in setting up Extreme Games (later X games) in 1995 as the sport got back its mojo. He <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/skateboarders/tony-hawk-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> 10 gold, three silver, and two bronze medals in the X Games. Thus, his major career- achievement came when he landed the first-ever documented 900 (skateboarder revolves 900 degrees in the air). Hawk took eleven years to do it and could not hide his excitement after that.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-3245111776 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-511497878.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
After all the achievements, Hawk retired from competitive skateboarding but remained an advocate for most of the issues related to the sport. His success didn't stop there as he became the first person to gain approval on the grounds of the White House. The first-ever Hall of Ceremony of Skateboarding happened in 2009 as Hawk got inducted.

<h2 id="node---11759-figcap" style="text-align: center"><b>Tony Hawkâ€™s contract</b></h2>
</figcaption></figure>
Introducing Boom Boom HuckJam became significant as it was a live music show with sporting events on the side. He also appeared in many movies and TV shows like XXX, the entire?Jackass: The Movie?franchise,?The Simpsons,?The Masked Singer, and?Sharknado 5: Global Swarming.

He has invested in a lot of companies and struck smart deals with many of them. His investment with California's Blue Bottle Coffee chain proved to be a smart decision as the company got sold to Nestle for $500 million. Thus, all these investments made him a successful entrepreneur.

Likewise, he became the first person to perform a documented &#8216;900&#8217; skateboarding trick and has a licensed video game named after him. Moreover, he is one of the pioneers of skateboarding. Tony Hawkâ€™s early life Born to Nancy and Frank Peter Rupert Hawk in San Diego, California on May 12, 1968, he entered the world of skateboarding when he was eight years old. Significantly, he got his first sponsor at the age of 12 from Dogtown Skateboards while turning a professional at the very young age of 14. Thus, his career as a skateboarder begins.

Apart from being a legendary skateboarder, Hawk&#8217;s deal with Activision in 1998 cemented his legacy as one of the greats.

Hawk invented many skateboarding moves like the gymnast plant, the ollie-to-Indy, the Saran wrap, and the frontside 540-rodeo flip. However, things changed during the early 90s as skateboarding lost its charm. Hence, he was a pioneer in setting up Extreme Games (later X games) in 1995 as the sport got back its mojo. He won 10 gold, three silver, and two bronze medals in the X Games.
