DANE REYNOLDS – BRO

THE DARK SIDE OF DANE

BLOG: http://www.dane-reynolds.com/

Dane Reynolds surfed uncompromisingly during his rookie year on the ASP World Tour, combining progressive aerials and massive tail out-turns in his performances, stunning onlookers and sending some of the most elite surfers on the ASP Top 45 packing their bags. The young natural-footer from Ventura, California donated especially memorable performances at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, the Quiksilver Pro France and the Boost Mobile Pro in 2008 and his equal 5th place finishes in those events combined with his laid back approach to competition has proven to be a dangerous combination which last left the remainder of the Top 45 fearing a draw against the innovative Californian.

With Reynolds putting several skeptics to rest regarding his competitive abilities in 2008, he will indeed be an even bigger threat to the ASP Top 45 in 2009 with a year of experince under his belt. Aside from his proven competitive skill, Reynolds jaw-dropping maneuvers have earned him the title of the world’s most progressive free-surfer by many, with his amazing surfing found in his first profile video, ‘Dane Reynolds: First Chapter’, as well as parts in Taylor Steele’s ‘Stranger than Fiction and Quiksilver’s ‘Young Guns’ videos.
