Despite His $25 Million Worth, Kelly Slater’s Surfing Lessons Are Accessible to Over 300 Million Americans Since 2017- Here’s Everything You Need to Know

In the world of surfing, Kelly Slater needs no introduction. The legendary surfer has won 11 World Surf League (WSL) titles. He has also won 55 event titles, making him the “GOAT” of surfing. He is the youngest and oldest surfer to win WSL. Currently, he is in his 50s but still dominates surfing.

Back in 2017, on The Dan Patrick Show, Kelly Slater was asked many questions. He was also asked how much he would charge to teach anyone to surf for an hour. The reply Slater gave would shock anyone.

Unbelievable but true

Dan Patrick was taken aback after learning about the rates that Kelly Slater would charge for a personal surfing lesson.

“How much would you charge to teach let’s say an hour of service,” Patrick asked, and Slater replied, “How much you got?” It looks like a pure business tactic for Slater in the way he answers the question. Although, Slater had other plans. 

“Our guess would be $10,000 an hour?” said the person sitting next to them. Slater replied, “Actually I’m free I’m cheap.” Lessons from the world-renowned surfer were totally free of charge. Not even a single penny! Despite his popularity, the pro surfer doesn’t want to charge people if they wish to learn to surf from him.
