@grahambensinger: Kelly Slater’s mom sold her prized banjo for a few hundred dollars so he could chase a world championship. Years later, he realizes the instrument may have been worth around $30,000 and the sacrifice meant far more than he understood at the time. #kellyslater

$500 a week in the '80s was like $2,000 a week today. the '90s was like $1,100 a week today. that's not bad

$500/month in 1980 is equivalent to 62k/yr in 2026 (on the low end)

I've known Kelly since mid 80s, many morning surfing C.B.P, Tables, Officers Club, Spanish House and Sebastian Inlet. Just an all atound awesome person. So happy for his success. Haven't seen him for many years after moving from C.B. Most supportive family Mom Judy, brother Sean and Stephen are all great people.

Definitely an immortal GOAT.. Basically Kelly with his 11 World Championships is in a Rare League like Michael Phelps with 33 and Rafa Nadal with 14 at the French Open..
