So this blog is about accepting our inherent averageness and being the best we can be within our capabilities. And it’s that perspective that makes true greatness that much more amazing.
This week, professional surfer (and Baywatch alum) Kelly Slater won his 11th world championship. Slater, 39, won his first at the age of 20 in 1992. Now that’s just not winning 11 events. That’s being the best surfer in the world over multiple events in each of 11 of the last 20 years. Add to the fact that he took 2 years off during the span and didn’t even compete. Name a professional athlete who dominated his or her sport so completely for so long. It can’t be done. Not Sampras, not Tiger, not Lance. So “The Perfect Antidote” wishes Kelly Slater congratulations on his 11th world title and on being the Greatest Of All Time.

In honor of taking a step back this weekend and taking time to appreciate loved ones and doing things you love, the song of the day is Jack Johnson’s “F Stop Blues”, and comes from a clip of Johnson’s surfing documentary “The September Sessions.”
