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. [edit] Life Tom Curren currently resides in Panama and still surfs in contests on the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS.) He is also often invited to surf in World Championship Tour (WCT) trials or contests. He has competed in the Annual Switchfoot Bro-Am Surf Contest for 3 years in a row, surfing on the Switchfoot team. In his five year rise to World Surfing Champion, Tom Curren led the way in cutting edge, perfectly tuned performance. Despite his youth, Curren was acknowledged as one of surfing's true geniuses and a soulful original. He single handedly challenged the surfing community in almost every area of surfing's culture and altered the mindset of hundreds of thousands of surfers around the world.
