The 15-year-old skate and surf rat is the first male XG athlete to be born after the X Games began in 1995. Curren took the XG Park contest by storm in 2010, finishing 4th in a field featuring some skate legends. He's still considered amateur, but he's a gifted skater and smooth surfer with his favorite wave a mile from his house and his own skatepark close by. Curren is homeschooled and going into 9th grade in the fall. His family will be at X Games, including his dad, former pro surfer Evan Caples.
