How Tom Curren Lives Is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Tom Curren lives a life that is truly out of this world. With that signature bottom turn—so smooth it seems almost supernatural. Three-time world champion Tom Curren has been called surfing's greatest artist. But while his graceful style made him a legend in the water, it's his unconventional life choices that truly set him apart. Today, we go beyond the perfect wave to discover how Tom Curren's extraordinary mind shaped not just surfing history, but a life lived entirely on his own terms.
Thomas Roland Curren was born on July 3, 1964, in Santa Barbara, California, into a surfing legacy. His father Pat Curren was both a big wave pioneer and master board shaper, deeply influencing Tom’s future in the sport. By 14, Tom was dominating junior competitions. By 21, he was world champion. But fame never suited him. He boycotted apartheid, vanished from the spotlight, then returned with one of the greatest comebacks in surf history—only to walk away again.
