surfboards are great, because they allow us to go surfing. And this is surfing, as good as it gets…
2nd favorite surf clip ever
this is #1
One of my other favorite clips, Dave Rastovich from Castles in the Sky has now been blocked by some greedy content “holder”
This video is pretty awesome though
ya, the link between Tom surfing that 5’7 in those waves and where Kelly later took the ultra-short performance board is undeniable…not surprising, two of the best, if not the best, surfers who ever paddled out…speed, power and style at it’s best…
Curren is the only one I never tire of watching. Not a big fan of the new school, aerial trick brigade. His roots and lineage show in his impeccable wave knowledge and instinct. Unlike many, I’ve never seen him ‘insult’ a wave.
One of the greatest compliments I ever received about my surfing was the time I was sitting around watching video of our local gang after a good hurricane swell. One guy said my style was similar to Curren’s. I was humbled by the comparison. But, I guess that when you spend most of your formative and later years riding right-hand point breaks, the waves dictate certain methods that translate across the globe.
