Tim Curran
Encyclopedia
Tim Curran is a musician, retired professional surfer and a spokesperson for the Surfrider Foundation. During his successful surfing career, he was one of the best surfers on the World Championship Tour, and was consistently in contention for the world championship. Despite his success and popularity, he remained one of the most affable and well-regarded surfers on the tour, a trait he attributed to his "Christian
faith and belief in God". http://www.transworldsurf.com/surf/features/article/0,19929,341713,00.html
Curran was raised and still resides near Arlington, Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC. He was born in the San Fernando Valley
, but spent some of his childhood in the southern Riverside County city of Temecula
. Temecula is roughly an hour from the ocean, so at age 5 his father started driving him to the beach every weekend and taught him to surf. http://www.boardom.com/surf/Who's%20Hot/Tim%20Curran.htm He obtained his first sponsorship at age eleven from McCrystal Surfboards and was competing as a professional surfer by age sixteen. http://www.transworldsurf.com/surf/features/article/0,19929,341713,00.html
He is considered to be the pioneer of surfing's "Aerial Revolution" of the late 1990s, and is famous for completing a full rotation, upside-down flip in two-foot surf at Rocky Point
in Hawaii
during winter of 2005. This popular aerial achievement has become known worldwide as simply "The Flip".
You can view a video of The Flip, and a photo documentary with commentary by Tim Curran at Surfline.
