Tom Curren and Kelly Slater are the most important figures in the last twenty years. Both surfers dominated their eras competitively. Curren in the 80’s, Kelly the 90s. Both exhibited innate natural ability and wave knowledge; and between the two of them, they amassed an unprecedented nine world titles. In so doing, first Curren, then Slater, lifted American professional surfing to the peak from the self-doubting doubting doldrums imposed by the brassy Australian and South African dominance in the 1970s. As World Champion, Curren was a shy and elusive yet hugely influential figure who let his brilliant wave riding do his talking. In contrast, while Slater’s surfing defined a new era, on land he transcended the surf scene to become a pop cultural icon on magazine covers and the world’s most watched TV series. This volume of The Surfer’s Journal Biographies reviews both surfers careers with intimate perspectives that help us to understand who they really are as human beings as well as great wave riders. |
