As of 2012, Slater held the record for both the youngest surfer to win the world championship and the oldest, an accomplishment that bookends a story of dominance unseen in any sport. Slater has helped bring surfing to the masses by providing an example of a professional who works hard and lives cleanly. He has endeavored to make surfing more accessible and understandable to a broad audience. In addition, Slater has established a charitable foundation that embraces environmental issues and brings surfing to many who would otherwise never have the chance to participate.
