TOM CURREN & KELLY SLATER: The Surfer's Journal Biographies Tom Curren and Kelly Slater are surfing's most important figures in the last 20 years. Both surfers dominated their eras competitively: Tom in the '80s; Kelly ... more »in 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, Curren, then Slater, lifted American professional surfing to the peak from the self-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 the talking. In contrast, while Slater's surfing defined a new era, on land he transcended the surf scene to become a pop culture icon on magazine covers and the world's most-watched TV series, Baywatch. This volume of The Surfer's Journal Biographies reviews each surfer's career with intimate perspectives that help us understand who they really are as human beings as well as great wave riders. In addition to the full length documentary about the lives of Curren and Slater, the DVD contains contemporary surfing segments as an added bonus. Running time: 62 minutes.« less
