After Prince Harry and Kelly Slater’s 2023 F1 Interaction, Surfing Legend’s California Ranch Receives a Royal Visit

Kelly Slater still makes waves among his fans. At the age of 52 years, the pro surfing legend shows why he is among the brightest stars ever piercing through the gigantic waves. In April this year, he announced his retirement from professional competitive surfing. He failed to cut into the mid-season lineup, and the failure made him make such a decision. However, later he earned a wildcard entry. So a retirement from the surfing sport is not on his book yet. Also, with that, he has not stopped firming his friendship while surfing through the waves.

In January this year, Kelly Slater posed with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with his surfing board. The duo met at Pua'ena Point Beach, where Matahi Drollet and Shayden Pacaro joined them in the water to continue surfing. The day ended well for each one as the 11-time World Surfing League champion invested his time to sharpen everyone's skill in the water. Now, this time, Kelly has received another big name with him in the water.

Kelly Slater has had a memorable experience with Prince Harry. Last year, he mingled with the Duke of Sussex in the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The duo was seen sharing warmth while Teahupo'o legend Raimana van Bastolaer and Garry Lopez, the pipe master and yoga guru, stood the eye witness. Since then, no such news had come of their meeting until recently.

On October 16, Raimana shared a snippet on his Instagram handle, displaying Prince Harry surfing in a man-made facility. However, it was Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California, and he was also present, witnessing the Prince's surfing in the clear water.
