Like all sports, surfing has always had its heroes. But while many come
and go, true heroes are never forgotten. Their legends only grow. In
the world of surfing, no surfer proves this point better than California's
classic son, Tom Curren, while curren came to power in the mid 80's
with back to back world titles, he became a legend in 1990. After a three
year hiatus he reappeared and started from scratch, dominating the world
of pro surfing in a way that can never be repeated.
It's hard to pinpoint why Curren's legacy outweighs even his three
ncredible titles. Kelley Slater has long since passed him and others like
Andy Irons have matched it. Maybe it's the fact that Curren won all his
titles in front of huge crowds instead of on remote reefs. Perhaps it's
his reluctant hero appeal that adds to his mystique. Or maybe it's the
fact that to this day he still holds the record for more tour victories over
any other surfer... Even Slater.
