Nearly every surfer who grew up studying the pages of surf magazines knows the iconic photo of Tom Curren laying down a timeless cutback at Backdoor. The 1991 image influenced everyone from Kelly Slater to Taylor Knox and countless groms growing up in the ’90s and early aughts. The man who shot this iconic moment is none other than master lensman Tom Servais, and in Tanner Gudauskas’ latest Outreach Surf drop, Servais takes the youngest Gudang on a quick tour through his archives–which, of course, includes the unforgettable Curren sequence.
If you’re a fan of surf history like Tanner is, you’ll enjoy this visual tour of Servais’ iconic catalog of images. Click play and enjoy.
