'If Bali doesn't #DoSomething serious about this pollution it'll be impossible to surf here in a few years. Worst I've ever seen,' Kelly Slater tells his Twitter followers. <\/p>\n
WORLD surfing champion Kelly Slater says Bali's beaches are littered with the \"worst pollution\" he has ever seen. <\/p>\n
Slater, who has won 11 Association of Surfing Professionals world championships, voiced his concerns on popular micro-blogging website Twitter on Sunday (Melbourne time) from Bali. <\/p>\n
\"If Bali doesn't #DoSomething serious about this pollution it'll be impossible to surf here in a few years. Worst I've ever seen,\" he told his hundreds of thousands of followers. <\/p>\n

When asked by a fan to elaborate on the source of the pollution, he tweeted: \"Everything. Plastic, random rubbish, medical waste\/needles on beach. Disgusting. Smelly water. Really sad.\" <\/p>\n
He said solutions to the problem would require support from multiple industries. <\/p>\n
Slater later re-published but did not respond to a follower's suggestion he make a documentary to prompt the Indonesian government to examine the problem. <\/p>\n
