Surfers Journal Biographies Volume 1 DVD

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 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 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 his 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 both surfers' careers 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 bonus added.

There's a never before seen Curren segment with Tom ripping La Fontania in France. Showing that his smooth and graceful style is still intact, Curren demonstrates the skills that make him one of the most popular surfers of all time. Edited to the song "Supernatural" by Kevin Sandbloom, Curren fans will be mesmerized by his surfing.

The Kelly Slater bonus segment is a must see! Slater surfing huge tow-in waves in France and tearing it up at "Le Piste", a classic French beach break. Kelly proves that a break from the world tour has done nothing to hurt his aggressive surfing style. Accompanied by Ozomatli's, "Superbowl Sundae", this hip soundtrack and Kelly's powerful aerial attack will leave you craving a surf session yourself!
