The Queen of the Coast - Californian coast, that is - pumps for the 2016 Rincon Classic with Tom Curren getting fruity on a sawn-off, flat-rockered board and Dane Reynolds going ham on more orthodox equipment.
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.

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.
