Eleven-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater has been eliminated from the Margaret River Pro in Western Australia and cut from the Championship Tour, in a dramatic moment that is likely to spell the end of his more than 30-year long career.
The 51-year old — widely regarded as the greatest surfer of all time — was knocked out in the round of 32 meaning he has failed to make the mid-season cut and can no longer compete on the top level championship tour.
