The Now: Curren Caples

Рет қаралды 878,163

9 жыл бұрын

When you're named after Tom Curren, you'd better have a knack for drawing interesting lines in the water. But while 18-year-old Curren Caples is more than proficient at punting and carving across his local breaks, it's his skills on a skateboard that have landed him in the spotlight. He turned pro last year, filmed a video part for Flip Skateboards, and won a gold medal in Skateboard Park at X Games Munich. His life is one fast-paced balancing act between water and concrete.

i can't decide fully, but i think Caples is the illest cat currently riding boards. dude is giving the legends a run for their money. sick tricks, unreal style, and humility for days. a grom with mad wisdom for his age.

Seriously, though. How does he go so fast? Is it because he's light as a feather? He gets noticeably more speed than other skaters I watch.

Curren > Luan IMO. I love Luan, but I think Curren's surfing adds a lot to his skate style, which isn't present in Luan.

how do you know? Seeing how his dad owned a surf shop and his talent and amount of dedication he puts in, he would have been extremely talented, and perhaps pro

@SteveSiz 8 жыл бұрын

Yes.. if you compare his skinny ass to those guys its a no brainer. But i have skated with Curren and knew him since he was like 7 years old. He had natural skate talent. i would not doubt if he surfed instead of skated with all his friends back then, he would be a ripper (and probably not so skinny) Its obviously hypothetical, but his dad owned a surf shop (right next to the skate park) and his dad knew all the surf guys in the area to influence him... of course its a what if.. the only reason Curren wins stuff is that people just happen to like his current style ( which is in style now..a mix of transition and street; there are so many better people out there at skating, he is just lucky.

Sometimes the waves erode the beach shore and make like a mini cliff. You stand on the edge of the little sand cliff and it just crumbles and you just kinda ride it down to the waters edge. I've never seen them more than like 3 or 4 feet.

he's gonna be the next Sheckler type good looking cute "bro" opposite style than Dylan but also SOTY in the future. Both Dylan and Curren have a chance to with SOTY, but Dylans killing it right now, but people don't focus on that when they just are too jealous of his model status looks and huge pop/talent. Caples has those as well but needs to thrash more.

@atomsk1972 9 жыл бұрын

Curren, Dylan and Shecks are all different and great skaters. The SOTY comment is weird, and Dylan has been quiet recently - if I'm wrong please point me in the right direction.

Curren Caples launches smooth-sticky skate flows and finds time to hit some surf. I just ate 6 neapolitan ice cream sandwiches. Can Curren pull that off?
