Book Reviews of Kelly Slater: For the Love
Book Review: Top pictography of world's greatest surfer
Summary: 4 Stars
While not quite a coffee table book of surfing photos, and not quite an illustrated biography of the nine time Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour champion Kelly Slater, For The Love is an interesting combination of the two. There are plenty of action photos of Slater surfing, after-the-action pictures of quiet time on the beach, and crowd scenes from the events and others in the hundreds of pictures selected for inclusion.
Slater has plenty of stories to share, from the many championships he's competed in, to thoughts on parenting, recycling, the environment and the future. Also included are many short stories from many of Slater's friends and competitors, who most often fill both roles. Many of the pictures are original to this volume, and are often full page, or covering a two-page spread. This is a good follow-up companion to Slater's 2003 autobiography Pipe Dreams, just with a great deal of pictures.
