Kelly Slater and Kalani Miller announced they are expecting a baby.

The 11-time world surfing champion and California-born swimwear entrepreneur Kalani Miller are going to be parents.

The couple broke the news in a collaborated black-and-white Instagram Reel posted on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, to Ben Harper's "The Three of Us."

Interestingly, March 19 is Father's Day in many countries. The baby's gender has not been unveiled, though.

Slater, 52, and Miller, 36, will have their first child together. The soon-to-be mother will give birth to her first child in 2024.

The American surfer has a daughter from a previous relationship with Tamara Michelle.

Taylor Slater-Kelleher was born on June 6, 1996. She has gained recognition as both a photographer and a painter.

Kelly and Kalani have been dating since 2008.

They met at a Quiksilver booth in California when Slater was competing in Lower Trestles and Miller and her sisters were working in Roxy.

Miller once revealed she would love to have two or three children with the professional surfer.

A Business Couple

Kalani runs her company, Mikoh, with her sister, Oleema.

Their line embodies their vision of modern swimwear for women, drawing inspiration from their experiences living in bikinis and exploring oceans worldwide.

Oleema, a former professional surfer, leads as the creative director and designer of Mikoh, infusing her extensive travels since age 13 into the brand's aesthetic.

Meanwhile, Kalani utilizes her education to manage the business side of Mikoh.

The brand's name is a fusion of their surname, Miller, and the initials of the sisters along with their younger sister's name, Hana.

Additionally, "Miko" originates from Japanese, signifying "female shaman" or "female prophecy."

Kelly Slater is the greatest professional surfer of all time.

The Floridian holds the records for being the youngest (1992) and oldest (2011) men's world surfing champion at 20 and 38 years old, respectively.

Kelly Slater's business ventures include Kelly Slater Wave Co. (wave pools), Outerknown (apparel), Slater Designs (surfboards), Firewire (surfboards), Endorfins (surfboard fins), Solento Tequila (beverages), KLLY (sandals), and others.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
