Crest Podcast Ep28 - Jem Evans on Tom Curren
Who could forget that little nugget last season when Rhino told us Tom Curren had written a song about him? Well, the central part of that incredible story belonged to former Welsh Seniors Champ Jem Evans, who would go on to host Curren at his Bourdaines home for three consecutive summers. What were the circumstances that led to a Gower and Porthcawl ripper suddenly sharing his every surf with one of the world's most famous surfers? And what is it like to spend so much time in the company of surfing's great enigma? Jem shares his remarkable insight with Tom and Rhino here, as well as offering some amazing analysis of Curren's surfing approaches and style - a wave-riding repertoire unmatched to this day for its flair and aesthetic. This is one of Wales' great storytellers, sharing one of Welsh surfing's great tales!
