Surfboards:
The victory, coming days before Slater’s 50th birthday, prompted questions for the 11-time world champion about his professional future.
“It would be interesting if that happened in the same week,“ Slater told the Associated Press of possibly retiring. “We’ll see how that goes. I’m contemplating whether I stop now or really go full bore this whole year, which would be, in my eyes, really for the fans and saying goodbye to everybody after all the years of support they’ve given me.”
