Reviews
"The book is full of peak adrenalized moments: Slater clutching a trophy, or toying with a monster wave the way a matador toys with a bull. But I found myself most drawn to the quiet moments, in particular a shot of Slater pondering the full moon while a gauzy wave zippers at his beloved Pipeline.This book is an intimate portrait. (Slater is constantly on the go, and Glaser’s lens manages to keep up with him while also making any observer seemingly disappear.) It’s also a testament to Slater’s staying power (in 2022, at age 50, he won his eighth Pipeline Masters Championship, which he first won in 1992). And in the end, it’s always a love story, between Slater and the waves." — WASHINGTON POST
"In terms of a revealing, photographic portrait of Kelly, it’s easily the best out there. " — THE INERTIA
