Looky at what we gots down at Surfy Surfy. It’s the 1980’s Tom Curren model, the Red Beauty from Channel Islands. This is a replica of what Curren rode back in the day. Remember how Curren used to stoke you out? Yeah, us too! Old school surfing on a Red Beauty. Modern surfing on a Red Beauty. See also: Black Beauty
If you know how to surf well, these tri’s work great. More guys should ride’em. They would surf better and be more pleasing to watch – instead of floundering on their butt plugs.
Let’s see video content of Tom at 1982 Trestles and 1983 Hang Ten contests. Anyone have video of those performances. Makes the 1986 footage above look silly. I saw the 1983 performance in person at Ocean Beach San DIego,… amazing.
