Curren Caples

Dallas, TXMay 26

It's a bird. It's a plane. No, that's Flip Skateboards young amateur Curren Caples just flying by your head. In true Vans fashion, young Curren shreds it all-handrails to halfpipes, big bowls to little ledges. Urban legend has it that Curren was born on a skateboard (facts are unclear as to whether there was a skateboard in the womb or if he was placed on top of the griptape immediately upon welcoming to this world) and it's hard to deny after seeing the style and board control this kid possesses. Grown men spend their whole life trying to learn to sky frontside ollies head high; Curren was doing them at age 9. Seven years later he's got nearly every trick on lock and he executes them all with a smooth, relaxed Southern California style while his golden locks blow in the breeze.
