We see Curren pretty much everyday he’s home and there’s some swell in town. It’s a trip seeing how gnarly he is at skating these days. The first mini ramp he ever owned was Nicks he built at age 11 and passed down to Curren. His dad runs the best surf/skate shop in Oxnard (momentum) and has been sponsoring Nick since he was a grom. Here’s what the dudes at SURFER have to say about Caples.
CURREN CAPLES BALANCING A SKATEBOARDING CAREER AND A SALTWATER ADDICTION 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. <iframe width=”640″ height=”360″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/7cxB0HsnlsI?feature=player_embedded” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
