Josh Pomer posted this clip of Tom Curren getting ridiculously shacked under the category Schools and Education, makes sense.
I watched a bit on regular TV this weekend that had Curren in the Mentawais with a bunch of Rip Curl groms, he didn’t seem that stoked. Rip Curl and Al Merrick/Burton should just send him a paycheck and stop trying to market the guy.
Some cool contest footage of Tom Curren from the 80′s. Compared to todays tour those guys had to grovel. Found at 70percent.org

Tom Curren
Tom Curren (born July 3, 1964, in Santa Barbara, California) is an American surfer. Born to father Pat (big-wave legend and shaper) and mother Jeanine. His brother Joe is also a professional surfer and popular photographer he also has a sister. He was world champion three times – 1985, 1986, 1990. He achieved near-mythical status both for his competitive drive and for his smooth, powerful surfing style. He made a high-profile decision to retire from competitive surfing in the mid-1990s. He led the surfing revolution in the early ’80s and inspired many of the surfers today, showing them how to surf a wave. Curren is without a doubt, one the most memorable surfers with one of the best styles the surfing world has ever seen.
