Kelly Slater depicted on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

Kelly Slater is a real life professional surfer. The characterised version features as a novelty character on the game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Instead of using a skateboard to skate, a surfboard is used instead.

The reason that Slater is used as a novelty character, is because Activision is also behind the game, Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer - and would most likely want to promote the upcoming game, which would be released in October 2002.

When collecting stat points in-game, the game states that players are collecting break points. The name break points is most likely a reference to the word, break, defined in a surfing context as is a permanent obstruction such as a coral reef, rock, shoal, or headland that causes a wave to break.
