please Mr or Mr's Video Editor, no one turn edits on gorgeous point waves.
Thanks in advance for next time.
I may be totally wrong - but why stunt your surfing on a tiny little crazy weird (bad) board in such fantastic waves. Tom is such a beautiful fluid surfer to watch - why ?? Dane was killing it.
I thought the same thing OHV.....I guess it's Tom Curren and he can get weird if he wants to.
yeah - maybe its just boredom and he needs a challenge ???
correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that a skimboard he's riding? I'm pretty sure there was an edit out a while ago of Tom shredding fairly hard on a skimboard (with fins he had put on), and this seems to be the same board.
I think youre right.
Nah, Curren's board had fins...of a sort. Here's a still from a diff vid of the same contest:
Doesn't do anything for me and it doesn't look like it works and id much rather see footage of Tom on a more standard board, but i can understand why Tom is seeing where he can go on these weird little skim board things sometimes you have to push things to the extreme and i guess it keeps it interesting for him.
