Hang ten, dudes: ABC has ordered “Ultimate Surfer,” a new surfing competition series from 11-time World Surf League champion Kelly Slater.
Slater will serve as on-air talent and special correspondent for the eight-episode reality show that “will gather some of the world’s greatest up-and-coming surfers to train and live together as they battle it out at the World Surf League’s (Wsl) state-of-the-art Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California, powered by Kelly Slater’s man-made wave technology, in the hope of competing amongst the best athletes in the world’s fastest-growing sport.”
Production on the series, which is produced by Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Media Group and Wsl Studios, will begin in 2020 and a premiere will be announced at a later date.
