In 1998, Kelly composed the song "Never."
Kelly is the proud father of daughter Taylor.
Kelly has been called the greatest surfer of all time.
Kelly says, "To receive a 10-point ride is a blessing in itself, but to have it honored by giving to those who could use a little support to accomplish the things they want to do in life is a bigger blessing... The school is something I believe hugely in. They provide a special place for kids to understand things that many people avoid or never learn to deal with their whole lives."
In 2003 Kelly released an autobiography called, Pipe Dreams: A Surfer's Journey.
Kelly's main sponsor is Quiksilver.
Kelly was chosen by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World in 1991.
Kelly is known as the Michael Jordan of surfing.
