Let’s not beat around the bush: Kelly Slater is hot.

We all know the famous surfer, who has been seen with some of the best looking women who walk this planet, has it goin’ on. But does Slater - who usually sports a clean-shaved look - have what it takes to rock a moustache?

Check out this creative way Quiksilver is making a difference: 

The Quiksilver Foundation is proud to announce for the month of November, Bob McKnight, Kelly Slater and over 100 Quiksilver employees will put down their razors and grow out their “mo” (Australian slang for moustache) in support of Movember to help raise awareness and money for the fight against Prostate Cancer.

Quiksilver team riders Dane Reynolds, Travis Rice, Tom Carroll, Reese Forbes, Jeff House, Strider Wasilewski, Tom Carroll and top-level management, Greg Macias and Randy Hild join Bob McKnight and Kelly Slater in a righteous effort to grow out their “mo” during Movember, the month formerly known as November.  At the end of the month proceeds from the individual “mo” sponsorships will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation whose single goal is to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer. 

The 108 dedicated Quiksilver Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache while increasing awareness and raising money for critical research for prostate cancer.

While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (ladies that support their guys or just love Mos) form an important part of Movember with their powerful feminine touch, by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds, and attending the highly anticipated Gala Parties in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Aspen.

Why the extreme behavior? 1 in 6 American men will develop prostate cancer. This year, more than 218,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer - that’s one new case every 2.5 minutes - and we’ll lose nearly 30,000 men from the disease this year alone.
