Curren:Trials to Title on DVD. A documentary by Alan Gibby. Narrated by Gerry Lopez and featuring music by Tom Curren. With brand new interviews from Al Merrick, Dave Gilovich, Evan Slater and Tom Curren himself.
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 incredible titles. Kelly 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.
