Caples and Lopez Sweep Damn Am!

It was an awesome weekend of skating at the best ever Damn Am down at Volcom HQ this weekend. Perhaps one of the hardest to judge, RPRT clients Curren Caples and Louie Lopez shared the top two spots out of about 200 kids. Curren dominated from his early golden ticket qualifying run and Louie killed the course with some insane tech. In the end, Curren got the top spot with Louie accepting a well deserved 2nd.

Awesome day for RPRT skate! Congrats LL and CC!!!!
