I SURFED WITH CURREN YESTERDAY!

Just saying.

[gonzo]

[hop]

Fuck that. I've surfed with Brocktoon.

[webb]

I've surfed with gonz. kinda. actually, I've driven around alot looking for surf with gonz.

[gonzo]

yeah that was sick.

[webb]

totally! pretty much everytime we try to surf we take a look at 80 different breaks and decide that breakfast sounds like a better call.

[Rico in Flag]

Meh, back in the day, like '87 when he was killin' it, I'd run into him pretty frequently. A huge influence on my surfing back then.

But,

that's pretty sick. where?

, yeah where?

[Alkasquawlik]

My local break, Sewer Peak in Santa Cruz. It was quite surprising to paddle out on a mediocre but fun day and surf next to Curren and his son. This is probably the least needed thing to say but damn, the guy's got style.

Alka, that's pretty cool.

One thing about skiing and surfing that is different from a lot of other sports is that you find yourself along side many of the marquis names in the sport. It's really humbling to see some of the top pros make things look so easy.

One thing I'll always remember is surfing the same peak as Slater last year at Rincon. The focus in his eyes when he's on a wave is total. I've shared line ups with CJ Hobgood, Dane Reynolds, and Rob Machado and didn't see that look Kelly has. I suppose the root of that look has a lot to do with why he's a 9-time champ now.

My biggest name drop is paddling out at Pitas with nobody else but the guy I was with and all the Malloy brothers.

Dane Reynolds and Adam Virs surfed my home break, but Virs is a rat milf. Not a fan of that dude. Dane is amazing.

[Brocktoon]

Fuck that. I've surfed with Brocktoon.

Yeah; Curren ain't shit.

When I was in college(UCSB) I had some buddies who went up to refugio on a 1-2 foot day to longboard with no one out. Curren eventually paddled out on a longboard. They said the most amazing thing was the amount of time he spent on waves as opposed to paddling out and sitting. They would be sitting there, just waiting for something, and Curren would always seem to be on a wave. He was not a snake or a wave hog, he just seemed so in tune with the lineup that he was always on something.

I've surfed lowers with Slater, near contest time. I have to agree with Tarkman, the focus is incredible. That and the incredible speed he generates. He really did seem on a different level than everyone else.

[SJP]

I surfed with Jesse. enough said.
