The Now: Curren Caples

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.

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.

Have to say, I'm not a massive fan. Definitely a better skater than he is a surfer but he always seems to be style over substance... He looks good but nothing he does is progressive at all. He got ridiculously overscored at the X Games, especially his first run. Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on him and no doubt he's a talented kid but he needs to up his game a bit in my opinion.

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.

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.

Do you surf? and what country do you come from?
vaper bing
vaper bing - 9 years ago
I thought no one would ask me this question +Raughing outRoud Happy you asked. His hair, his hair is a beautiful blonde brown color. The type of blonde as a result of being in the sea salt water a lot; his hair strands soaking up and absorbing that sea salt water, making his hair even blonder (also with help of the sun. This is a fact by the way). His beautiful wavy hair framing his face.
His face is beautifully, or handsomely sculpted. You cannot forget about his rich tan, you could tell by the rich, concentrated tan, that he is out in the sun a lot; be it when skateboarding or surfing.
He is legit a handsome young man, not even joking.

Steve Siz

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.
