Tom Curren at Sandspit (2005)
This video of Curren ripping Sandspit shows that if you stay in shape, you can continue to rip as you get older. Curren was born in 1964, so he is 41 in this clip. (Of course, Slater is 37 right now and won his most recent world title at age 36.)
Curren vs. Occy — Bells, 1986
A great recording of one of the better heats in a surf contest. You gotta love the colored wetsuits. Too bad the entire clip is in slow motion. It would be great to see this at regular speed to compare it with the surfing of today.

Further proof that Tom Curren was the best surfer of his generation.
Tom Curren at Backdoor, Pipe, and Sunset Beach
Curren really was/is a GREAT surfer. The ease and soul with which he surfed was amazing. He IS the transition between Gerry Lopez and Dane Reynolds. Respect your elders.
