Listen "The quiet one: Pat Curren"
Episode Synopsis
Surfing has never lacked big characters—loud, brash, full of stories. But this week, we talk about someone different: Pat Curren. A big-wave pioneer, big wave gun shaper, and quiet force in the lineup, Curren was the definition of strong and silent. From flipping beers at Waimea to building surfboards like weapons, Pat didn’t say much—but when he did, it stuck. We talk about his early days in La Jolla, shaping the first true big-wave guns, and how he managed to remain a mystery even while helping define the sport.
