The legend in action
A peaceful moment for Tom
Tom Curren is also a talented musician
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.
