Great surfing from both guys even with those power lacking conditions.they will always be remembered and compared with the surfing of today.also a reminder that style is very important.
Giddy to you Bro as my aunty Mack McIver did a wonderful thing for you and Tom as glad to hear that you have kick your substance addiction as to have l as its all going to hit the fan soon here in Australia as we are going to lop y the heads of the bosses and shut down supply. BUNYIP
@jstnhnh the thicker boards worked good! the guy that i used to get boards from when i was a kid in the 90s was always yelling at me for ordering boards that were WAY too thin! i wish i had listened. but these days it's fun to go out on thicker boards and see what works and what's fun to ride. when i was a 15 year old kid i was too worried about image and all that. funny.
You do realize that those "TERRIBLE BOARDS" were state of the art, just like today's boards. Most, if not all boards made back then were low rocker, with lots of volume through the middle. I had about a dozen of them, just like Curren's.
curren had triple concave- the tri plane hull- al merrick started that in 73 or so. thats why curren was the best in those days, and why he was surfing faster than carroll
i feel so old. who cares what board. how bout a million less people in the line up. and what surfline. gas was 57 cents a gal. but i'm happy! really. yea right.
Curren's board would look/ride better a couple or more inches shorter. Carroll's style and maneuver's are looking more inspiring than Curren's in this vid.
Both would have done better with a short & thin modern board. However, it was their era that made the biggest changes in surfing which continued. To bad they didn't have 2-3 week 'wait periods' for contests back then. Define "more inspiring" style & maneuvers because Curren was riding a log in sluggish waist high slop & still got it on rail to slap the faces silly*
Currens flow will never go out of style
These flatter, thicker 80s designs are making a comeback, aren't they? I see that a lot of shapers have some 80s-inspired shapes nowadays.

Clasicos rivales!! muy buen videito

@gothos1000 Well here in florida any wave is nice.
@Tommygrules I've liked more volume myself too.
Grande Tom Curren!
#VAI_MEDINA!
I do. Curren's boards at the time were 2 and 7/8 " thick. Try turning that.
Dá pra ver claramente que as pranchas são muito muito duras.
Those waves would be great to learn to surf on, or longboard on, IMO.

i wish they had more variety back then. all they r doing are cutbacks and snaps and pumping

péssimo julgamento, Carrol ganhou essa!

Curren era melhor que Carrol!!
Thank god WSL has moved on from this contest format to putting surfers in good waves. So boring!!
