The Now: Curren Caples
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2015
- 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 like him, he seems determined, relaxed, friendly and - most importantly - content with his life. Respect bro
I have his teck deck lol
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.
Caples
swearrrr to god some guys just have perfect lives. good looking, talented, and the riches that come with being pro. jesus could u ask for anything more
dat dig bick
SmashingKinpumps Fuck Pro surfing! It’s everything surfing not suppose to be.
u can only see what you can see dude
MaKING NeWs Surfings my favorite activity but it’s become to commercialized . Grim.
SmashingKinpumps
A slave
0:50 that transfer is ridiculous!!
Right? That didn't even look real. Jesus. lol
He makes skating boarding beautiful, even when he's being gnar. His 3 part is joy.
I think Caples got the absolute dopest style in skateboarding together with Luan :D such flow and style
Dylan Rieder
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.
There are very few people who are good at both sports, he's very lucky he can hang in both places
love this guy. I wonder if he snowboards. Bet he kills it on one too
Kid has insane speed and flow, gnarly speed flow 9000matic.
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.
Ojai bowl. Love that park. I remember Mullen and I skated there when it was just a mini ramp and really bad asphalt.
Gnarly footage Curren.
Love seeing local kids from Ventura. So much talent here.
dudes got style for days...and everything else. World Class.
Definitely someone to watch for. 🙌
Last year, Curren Caples turned pro for Flip Skateboards, won a gold medal at X Games Munich, and still made time to punt and carve at his local break.

SURFER and I can't even get a text back smh
I love the way he surfs
styyyyleeee at its finest
He’s one of the best skaters I’ve ever seen in my life so explosive🤙🏽💯
everything he does is so effortless
Hands down my fav new skater - no one had flow like hosoi this kids got it
Sick! Stoked on the new kids that surf and skate. Rad style
Dude. What the fuck. That trick at 0:51 and at the very end... this kid is lightweight like a feather... catches so much air and gets so much fucking speed. Quintessential southern California skater surfer. Yeah, I would have guessed Huntington as well for sure.
he skates super clean, awesome style and also with surfing.
favorite skater!
and he drives an S5 what a beast
Saw him skating Ojai once. Dude has steez!
One of my favorite cities in the Golden State :-)
Fantastic man…this young man is very blessed. Love that solid and relaxed style he has in the water and on the land. Thank you for sharing this.
didnt know keira knightley could surf/skate that well
That 50-50 down the BIG rail was dope!
Surf and skate... 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Awesome dude.
*Best style* 👌
the best guy ! I can t believe it !
Dope!
Always had respect for him for some reason
enjoyed the video!
this was hella dope
Very nice riding.
He did inherit the gifted footwork of his dad. Cool that he chose to do his own thing on the skateboard..still a board tho! 😁
great guy with alot of talent
I knew he skated good ! But he freaking rips in the water ! This guy could really get nuts with his surfing in combo with his skating influence.
straight ripping !!
gnarley bros
Talented kid.
soo good
What he does on the skate is way gnarlier than anything he will do on surfboard
sickk dude
dopee
Double threat! Ripper
"Oh look at this dude, is that Dane???" Hahaha so sick
very nice transfer
curren what do you like more surfing or scateboarding
a well behaved jay adams.. NEW GEN
nah
jay was a pos
taradead wtf he was a legend
Saw him at Emma wood one day surfing with Nathaniel Curran and Sage Erickson. Sage is such a babe
+NorthOCkook hahahahahhaha blanchard takes da cake dough
1 love breda!!
Hey Curren, next time you're on a skate trip with a possibility to surf, bring your board, I bet your homies would be down for a fun session.
Wow!!!
He did a grind where i go to school
Ventura represent #moorparkskatepark
I just love him.... Is that weird?
2:40 for all of the finnish people out there, i was shook
this shit has been puzzling me for the fucking longest time but how is this physically possible? @0:30
walkway down the middle of the beach, he's skating down it
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.
sometimes reall really really good surfer skater crossovers can use their "steeze" to magically disappear and reappear about 30-60feet further away. amazing!!
If it weren't for Skate Street, he'd be a pro surfer!!
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
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.
+hweenmask you don't have to go on tour to be pro or get a paycheck times are changing free surfing is a huge part of surfing now
+hweenmask bruh curren is pulling out back 3's out of his ass/ doing huge frontside airs...bruh he could deff compete with alot of dudes like evan geiselman. Not saying he would win/ but he is deff am status in surfing.
your fucking crazy good at skating and surfing man !
Anyone know where he's surfing at in those clips? Looks like such a fun sandbar
He's such a babe
Cool
Shreddddddder
2:09 that’s my old school!!!!!!!
This video should now be called "The Then".
I live in Ventura!!!!!!!!!
Fucking speed demon.
the flavor
Curren has the best life ever
Holding it down for the 805
want him
So fucking gnarly
Curran Caples: Concrete/Wave Rider!
I'm from Ventura
my dream fucking boy . oh my god.
does anybody know where the spot is at 2:31? I wanna go there so bad
Bro curren is so fluent and relaxed..watch out for him in surf or skate professionally soon
😍😍😍😍🤘🤘
🤙🏻🤙🏻
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.

Live in the Now, but keep your eyes and ears open.
I want this dudes hair
Hug your parents for getting you out of OH..You look like you belong in S CA.
Good wishes. Awesome skills.
Can we get a “the now now”
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?
Incredible talent. Only wish he'd wear a helmet. Sorry, it's the dad in me....
:-D
hahahah. Funny how Dadland changes you eh...
Dopest hair ever
57seconds....where in the hell is that skatepark?? Ventura?? Anyone

Thats me
He reminds me a bit of Jay Adams.
auldsk8r more like Stacy
not at all
HE IS GOLDEN
Pensa num muleke profissa ! hahaha
ive been skating for 10 years now, and i want to start surfing. anyone know any good spots in the 805 area? I live in santa barbara.
+Alan Rueda call up some surf shops for a couple private lessons, surfing is a progressive sport, it's not as easy as the pros make it look. Start on a long board.
+tgshark1 Tiger Shark fun boards are also a good alternative
What type of surfboard does curren have
0:52 what physics are those ??!??!?!?
0:18 holy fuck
