SurfDonkey Ep4 Hangin Ten with Tom Curren

Yes the rumors were true. We had three-time world champ and surf legend Tom Curren at the store for a chat. Have a look to see what hes like out of the water. The waves sucked locally so Yazzy scooted him away to some secret spots. We will see if we can get him and the whole Rip Curl posse up another time. Check out the Trikke Tribredhe is promoting too if you want.Look for some donk-call submissions at the end too. No, we did not ask Tom to heehaw. Not this time. Tell us your favorite donk caller.Oh and there is a sneak peek of a future episode from the summer showing an Alaia board in action with Christian Wach.Click on our subscribe button and leave a comment too!Thanks for watching,The Donkshttp://www.hurricanesurf.com/surfdonkey/

"Record" for Largest Wave Ever Ridden Trivializes Big-Wave Surfing
