Just general surfing stuff

[Yuke Hunt]

If you're judging Curren's place on the autism spectrum by seeing five or ten seconds of a heavily edited surf clip, that's pretty random!

The imagery only helped to reenforce a long held belief ... but I'll tell you what is random, your infatuation with my choice of surf craft.

I never really liked Currens style when he was on the tour.

Really ?

Top one classic of course and freesurfing.
Second one comp shot and a good example of what I was talking about.

[Nick Carroll]

the second one is two years ago at Bells in a heritage heat with Occy, Curren is riding a skimboard.

You know something. If you look at that post long enough you can see a kook on kneeboard in 3D.

Just kidding Yuke. A few handy kneelos in these parts

Okay, so also a good example of what I was talking about but in the opposite direction.

[foamy]

A key difference between Tom’s old comp footage and his free surfing footage is usually the waves are much better in the latter.

[Beanpole]

Plus point waves really suit his style.

I was watching Parko surf a twinny at greeny a couple of days ago. Very stylish, but we already knew that.

How close is this to your place Al?

It's about 300km north of our place.

Be a little more specific then.

What was wrong with his style when he was on Tour (in your eyes)?

Seeing too much of that lately, the world over, hope you came through ok Lucky Al.

This footage of Tommy (and MR) at Burleigh in '83 is pretty cool!

Thought I explained that. From a purely aesthetic point of view of course. Just tended to sit low and stretched out on the board. He still has pretty much the same style now but it looks better because he's not pushing it for more manoeuvres I guess. Obviously he's surfing better waves and I think his timing and positioning are pretty spot on. Looks good on a skim board too.

[steve shearer]

you still think that after watching that footage of him from '83 Stubbies?
