Tom Carroll (Author)

Tom Carroll is a surfing legend. He grew up in the surf at Newport Beach on Sydney’s north side, began riding a surfboard at the age of nine, and went on to dominate the sport worldwide in the 1980s, winning two world professional crowns and three Pipeline Masters titles, before becoming involved in the surf business through a longtime association with global surf wear company Quiksilver.

For many years he has been regarded as a “surfer’s surfer”, as committed as they come to challenging himself in wild seas; recently he starred in the highly successful big surf documentary “StormSurfers 3D”.

Tom lives in Sydney and has three daughters, Jenna, Mimi and Grace.
