All Hail The Down Carve

Crosby Colapinto may have just participated in our first-ever pelagic Stab High event, but he isn’t ready to holster his gun quite yet.

While the state of California allows most adults 21 and over to legally own a firearm, 19-year-old Crosby Colapinto doesn’t really seem to give a fuck. The kid’s back foot is the equivalent of a Glock with the serial number scratched off. Permanently cocked and ready to do some damage.

Crosby’s tenacious down carve is a spectacle that has become a rarity amongst the younger generation of surfers. Throwing air after air in the Mentawais has got to get stale at some point right? Not sure if the San Clemente native’s obsession with displacing water stems from teenage angst or a newly developed apathy for flying, but I’m thrilled it’s documented on video.
