24/7: Kelly Slater offers rare access to a surfing icon

HBO turns its acclaimed 24/7 franchise toward surfing with 24/7: Kelly Slater, a revealing one-hour documentary that follows the 11-time world champion as he prepares for the Billabong Pipe Masters in Oahu, Hawaii. The film offers rare access to Slater’s life on the North Shore, where he navigates family, reflection and the demands of elite competition in the final stretch of the World Surf League Championship Tour.

Rather than presenting Slater only as a champion, the documentary frames him as a man confronting the weight of a remarkable career and the uncertainty of what comes next. Cameras also track him through the November Hawaiian Pro in Hale’iwa, adding momentum to a story built around pressure, preparation and legacy.

Narrated by Liev Schreiber, 24/7: Kelly Slater extends HBO’s award-winning sports documentary format into a world where the stakes are both athletic and personal. For surfing fans and casual viewers alike, it promises a polished look at one of the sport’s greatest competitors at a defining stage in his journey.
