Eleven-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater has opened up about the "elephant in the room" — the prospect he is cut from the professional tour and potentially forced into retirement at the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia.

Slater, who has dominated his sport like few athletes ever have, is determined to win after a solid first round performance, but is also candid about his future, revealing he wants to have more children, four or five dogs and build a house after he comes off the World Surf League (WSL) tour and a life of travelling the globe.
