THE SURFER SQUAD
BEHIND THE SCENES
Breitling’s Surfer Squad members are the personalities behind the Superocean and Superocean Heritage sea-watch collections. This impressive trio includes American Kelly Slater, the most successful surfer of all time, together with Stephanie Gilmore, the most successful female surfer of all time, and Sally Fitzgibbons, a multiple world champion hailing from Australia. Just like the philosophy behind our sea watches, these top surfers combine precision, performance and relaxed elegance, all while sharing our commitment to maintaining clean oceans and beaches.
Meet the Surfer Squad.
STEPHANIE GILMORE
Stephanie Gilmore entered the professional surfing scene in 2007, winning four out of the eight events and claiming the World Surf League title in her rookie year. Since then, she has dominated ever since, winning her eighth world title in 2022 to become the greatest female surfer of all time. Like all Breitling squad members, her range of talents extends well beyond the discipline for which she’s famous for. Stephanie is passionate about getting more women and girls into surfing and spends her free days traveling the globe, photographing her adventures and playing her many guitars.
SALLY FITZGIBBONS
At only 17, Sally Fitzgibbons won the World Surf League Qualifying Series, becoming the youngest and fastest surfer ever to qualify for the World Tour. Twelve WSL titles, one Summer Games and three ISA World Championships later, she still competes with the same passion. But surfing isn't her only love. She won gold medals in the 800m and 1,500m track events at the 2007 Youth Olympic Games, representing her native Australia. This accomplished athlete never gives in to defeat, which makes her a perfect fit for the Breitling Surfer Squad.
KELLY SLATER
Kelly Slater is an 11-time World Surf League champion and widely regarded as the greatest professional surfer of all time. He’s collaborated with Breitling on the Superocean Automatic 42 Kelly Slater limited edition.
