Dayne Reynolds shot in September 2008 during the French WCT contest in Hossegor. There was a lot of buzz on the beach about whether or not Kelly could wrap up his 9th world title here. Only very few people could still stand in his way and after Mick Fanning bowed out early due to an injury, all eyes turned to Taj Burrows who needed to win his heat against Dane Reynolds to remain in the title race. This is how Dane dealt with the pressure and the thousands of eyes on the beach. He simply surfed as if nobody had told him that it was a contest. His surfing was truly impressive and although it was flowing naturally, nobody knew what to expect next. It was like an instinctive free-form jazz improvisation - it really felt like almost anything could have happened in any direction. Even spectators that knew absolutely nothing about surfing were mesmerised by Dane and watched his every moves as if he was a drunk trying to cross a busy highway. Needless to say, Taj never made it to the next round.
number 7 does it for me, fuckin kicks ass! who gets that fuckin high and has time to turn and nose dive down? WAT THE FUCK? he's just jumped outta a plane or summat... fuckin mental shit, dats my fave by far! Get in there man.. fuck...
I've gotta say Dane's is awesome! man, he's pulling out stuff that shouldn't even exist, and the way he surfs contests ...by far the next level!! I've seen him getting tens, 10's! with only two maneuvers -air after air- who does that? experts are doubting his humanity -freak!- what else can I say, in personal opinion as a progressive surfer i look up to him. he Shreds!!!
Agreed! I swear ive given this article 6000 views, its frickin immense! Oh and by the way, did you know exaggeration went up a million percent last year?
Yeah dude. #5 is epic. #13 is pretty cool too. I like to see a glimpse of the shore in pics like this. It helps add contrast to the wicked air these dudes are getting.
