If Slats can win number 10 this year it would be an amazing accomplishment. No one has ever won ten world championships over the span of 20 years (take away 3 years right in the middle when he retired after winning 5 in a row) in any sport. Its a great article, brings up some really interesting points.

I was always a Curren fan growing up. Saw him surf in some gnarly waves in NorCal. Then I watched Slater in Hawaii for a few winters (with all the rest of the pros as well) and Slater is a once in a generation kind of athlete.
