Tom Curren
Tom Curren is, without a doubt, one of the greatest surfers of all time. A true Californian, Tom grew up surfing the long walls of Rincon in Santa Barbara, and developed a smooth, sweeping style that trademarks his career in surf.
Tom is much more than a 3x World Champion, he was one of the pioneers of progressive competitive surfing. He was one of the original Searchers, travelling to the ends of the earth on a mission to find perfect, un-surfed waves.
Enigmatic, slightly reclusive and incredibly eccentric, Tom is a legend and holds an almost mythical presence in surfing history.
