Curren Caples for Vans

Focusing his energy on his home turf, Curren explores LA with a fully formed vision and gets the assist from Louie and Jake on the mission. You've never seen him like this.

Crazy to see how his skating matured. Easily one of the best styles in the game right now.

[@_CORVUS]

He and Ben nordberg are my favorite skaters right now.

[@KnarKnarSicky]

Man! He should be really proud of that part, shit was 🔥

He been skating this hood since the “Propeller” Vans video

The b2b kickflip and Tre flip with Louie were both phenomenal

[@stackierobinson5408]

That was a Tre Flip to Tail Grab 💪🏽😮‍💨

[@quinnpiper4586]

that pyramid is so hard to skate and they made it look like a skatepark

[@NinoBone]

Thinking the whole time i need a lou and curran full part but realizing a b2b and a hug is it, my childhood to adulthood has been fulfilled…thank you

[@Jam-bw7cy]

agree

[@GHOST__BRAIN]

noseblunt at 1:23 was insanely awesome

[@kaffeeskateboards]

Totally speechless. Didn't expect the heavy bag on creativity on tricks. Potential SOTY right here

[@stevejones8550]

I don't know about that, definitely a good part though. But... Compared to nyjah,suciu, Louie,ishods, Carlos riberiero,miles silvas,tj Rogers 🤷I dunno. Very good part. But suciu and nyjah dropped like 20 mins or more of hammers (I know nyjah didn't win, but he won lol). I can atleast see this in the discussion though.

Curren n Louie still one of the best duos. Videos, demos, contest, interviews. They always been clean af

Its crazy how long theyve been around and theyre both still in their twenties

[@gutwounds]

@@glizzgoblin both joined the game at like 11 years old lol

[@Charles-vb9em]

Met them both in 2007 with David Gonzalez. They were all very young, Curren and Louie must’ve been 11 or 12. Nothing but positive energy then and it seems that it hasn’t changed. Friends for life

Si me acuerdo de ellos dos muy talentosos y pequeñitos ya patinando juntos uno muy moreno y el otro muy rubio. Me encanta verlos juntos tantos años después. Cada uno con su estilo de patinaje únicos y diferentes!

[@1logeskeez]

Dude has always been underrated in the community

[@MissingScrew27]

his paycheck hasnt on the bright side

[@stevejones8550]

Personally...I wasn't expecting his part to be that good. I was surprised. Waaaaaaay better than his old parts imo

[@MissingScrew27]

@@stevejones8550 oh yeah , this was 100% on par with most of the high grade skateboarding that came out this year

[@stevejones8550]

​@@MissingScrew27 agreed. There was some pretty technical tricks I wasn't expecting. Some unique and inventive tricks, and some hammers on big rails. Which.... That's pretty dope considering his specialty is transition.

[@TonyDelTaco]

Cuz there’s nothing relatable abt him as a person. Good tricks in the part tho fs

[@chriswutduh5759]

Love seeing Curren rip the streets. Dude is so underrated!

[@hit1664]

His old vert footy is my favorite

[@mr.farmerskatesandcreates6848]

I was thinking underrated too, but maybe taken for granted is a better description.

[@technodrome]

His style's got Cairo Foster vibes. Also feels like a proper Vans rider with his steeze and skill. Banger of a part, this one. 🔨 🔨 🔨

[@johnmeehan7884]

Lol no it doesn't. Cairo had big man style. Curren does not. Pay attention.

[@matthewwilson8897]

Dude is the flow master/style 👑 king. So many bangers in this part 🔨

[@goodmourningamerica5151]

How do you fly that fast up to a 20 ft rail and blast off on it like that. This part was nuts!!!

[@cderzzz]

Been waiting for a Curren part this well developed for a while

[@sebastianmayer8271]

More freak out comments please! By far his best video part in my opinion! Trick-selection, flow, style (also music, camera, editing) was absolutely amazing! Bravo Mr. Caples

[@Bingo-FLip]

I wish he would have throw a switch trick in there at some point… But yeah overall amazing!

[@vancouverbill]

For sure, he has always been so good but this part it seemed like he could enjoy wearing his shoes, like the pressure dropped right off and he just enjoyed skating

[@ShawarMoni]

Plus sum crusty spots

[@titans77]

Curren and Louie always have the biggest smiles when they're skating together in these clips. Looks like they have a lot of fun :D

[@tomybogadjian1487]

noticed the same thing when they hugged and then turned around after the b2b both ear wide smile

[@DB.KOOPER]

His style and casual positioning on the board are AWEOSME. He makes it look easy when its clearly NOT. Such a badass edit.

[@JoshAlIen]

Honestly, that is up there with the top 3 parts that I've ever seen. His flow is just so unrelatable, it's crazy.

[@JakeBorchenko]

His style works so well in the streets and on transition. Mad enjoyable to watch.

[@greens294]

Damn! Curren has put out some good parts in the past, but this was clearly on another level

[@Jeremyramone]

Ween song was just excellent. Brilliant choice, Thanks for sharing

[@killukrue]

HE did the NUGE Rail! Damn

[@dingus2k]

this part was insane, so glad to see curren ripping again

Currens been getting after it for a respectable amount of years now. Still progressing and impressing. Sick skater sick style.

wow was worth the wait for a new curren part. he makes skating look so freeing

[@bennyshambles]

Team Handsome wins again. Pure style, surfing form, Ween… breathtaking. That next to ender at the Rosemead 210 entrance in Pasadena was SO sick. Now if him and Janderson would leave Skate Mental for a better board brand; they deserve so much better.

[@TheRealViCiousV]

Had a hard time picking up my jaw off the floor watching this part. Tons of creativity and a wide bag of tricks throughout the entire part. Curren is absolutely killing it!

The song for this part says “could you dig in my soul, could you smell my hole…. Life” like it takes way too long for him to say life hahaha. Secondly this part reminds me of when I’m playing session and I have the high pop cranked up, the gravity turned down and the grind friction turned off, like the dude is unstoppable it’s crazy how much pop and grace he has.

Power, style and some tech. Perfect!!!

[@juand1218]

One of the most elegant styles I've ever seen on a skateboard. Curren has all in his bag: speed, tech, creativity, good choice for every spot, and he hits every kind of surface with the same graceful flow (ledges, rails, stairs, walls, transitions, etc). This guy is a legend.

[@Justgoneforsometime]

Almost 9 minute part and I still want more! Great work curren , killed it 👌

This was definitely a well thought out and intentional part. You can tell Curren's been stacking. Some of the clips were filmed on the same seshes as some clips across louie's parts

[@HARDL3FT]

One of the best all around skateboarders in the world. Dudes also a pro surfer.

[@mclarensaleenf7]

Is he really? I know he’s a good surfer but I’ve only seen a handful of clips. His dad was actually a legendary pro surfer in his day. Imma have to check on Curren though. Love multi-talented boarders. I love skating, snowboarding, and wakeboarding all the same. They’re all such a blast and the same skate stoke is there!

[@headmondronary2127]

Curren caples is not a pro surfer. Your getting mixed up with Tom Curren one of the all time legend world champs of surfing. Both got the California style but decades apart. Wouldn't surprise me if Curren was named after Tom.

This part was crazy, what’s also crazy at the speeds he was going I don’t remember seeing one power slide, he took those hill bombs like a G, he’s a contender for SOTY with this one, hopefully he drops something else late in the year because as we know people put out parts every week it will be forgotten about in a few months
