PPP: Tom Carroll and Mitch Coleborn Part 1: Boards presented by Rusty

Video: Troy Eckert

Two like-minded approaches. Two very different generations.

In this episode of Past Present Perfect we talk with two Australian goofyfoots who both have pretty radical approaches in all conditions — similar right down to their freckled faces and right-foot forward attack style.

We stood with them on the steps that lead to the wave (Pipeline) that Tom Carroll spent most of his career smashing and dominating, Gath helmet strapped on and charging and that Mitch Coleborn is currently mastering.

In this first episode the two debate the subtle, and not-so-subtle differences in equipment that comes with a couple decades gone by.
