Aloha Tom! Looks like you are doing a pretty darn good job of creating your own personal “Curren” surf team. Your daughter Leeann (age 16) and son Nathan (age 14) are already accomplished surfers with your support, as well as the support from Channel Islands Surfboards, Quicksilver and Evian water. Please share with us your experiences mentoring and surfing with your two youngest sons, Frank and Pat.
Both Leeann and Nathan are regular foot, so it’s quite interesting that Frank and Pat are both goofy foot. I enjoy getting to see them perform and improve at a younger age. In France the ocean is warmer thus Leeann and Nathan didn’t have too much problem dealing with colder water like here in California. I find it interesting how Pat and Frank are adapting to colder water and now don’t seem to mind it. --T.C
