Rock Me Baby! Dane Reynolds

On this day, August 1, 2008, the surfing world universally acknowledges that DANE REYNOL DS is the best fucking surfer in the world.

"He’ll get really old one day and you’ll say, ‘Remember Dane Reynolds? He can barely walk cause he did too many huge airs and got hurt a lot so now he walks with a pimp limp" - Kelly Slater

“I don’t know what he’s banking but I’ll say, yes, he’s seriously underpaid.” - Julian Wilson.

“Dane and I spent some good times in France after the Mundaka event last year. Hanging out with him I started thinking, wow, finally there’s a very intelligent, sarcastic ripper that doesn’t take himself too seriously on tour. So yeah, I’d say, drinking or not, he’s a good man.” - CJ Hobgood

“I’ve seen enough wild shit to make me believe Dane’s probably actually better than what the mags suggest.” - Taj Burrow

“When we were in Mexico recently I saw him do an air-reverse that would have been the best air of my life. He was sliding backwards, perfectly in control when all of a sudden he jumped off. It wasn’t a good one for him so he was over it. That was when I realised that I should never try an air again as long as I live.” - Dan Malloy

“Taj was probably doing snaps like them first, getting like 30 percent of his board out of the water. Dane’s taken the same turn, added a little more power and gets about 60 percent of his board out of the lip.” - Jordy Smith.

Kelly, Julian, CJ, Taj, Jordy & Dan Malloy talk Dane, Dane, Dane… (interviews by Ron Blakey)

Full Story in this months Stab, issue 28.

We dedicated an entire issue to Dane Reynolds (yeah, yeah and we got a free slap-on DVD, too)Oh, and we took a really hot (semi-naked) girl to the Globe Pro in Fiji. Keerist!

On-sale sometime in August.

Check the ASP ratings!?? WTF!??

No one said Dane was the best CONTEST surfer in the world!?

But at most of the contests this year he has done some of the best surfing that's for sure. Best moments of individual brilliance.

Stab Guy 1: You know Alex Knost, the Catfish Gang - those guys are hip and all, but they're hardly the best surfers in the world.

Stab Guy 2: Yeah, and Andy, Taj, Kelly et al - well they sure do shred, but they're lacking any hipster cred. You won't catch Brucie riding a fixie to the caff for a latte, baby.

Stab Guy 1: Damn straight. What we need is cool doo-ad who dresses well and listens to indie rock and who, you know, rips.

Stab Guy 2: Hmmmmmm... wait! I've got it!

Stab Guy 1: Not... (spurt, spurt) DANE!

Staby Guy 2: YES! (spurt, spurt, spurt)

Staby Guy 1: (spurt, spurt, spurt) (spurt, spurt, spurt) (spurt, spurt, spurt) (spurt, spurt, spurt) (spurt, spurt, spurt) (spurt, spurt, spurt) (spurt, spurt, spurt) .............

Connection between Competition Marvel and Best has been made...
Whether these accolades are one and the same is unimportant.... particularly when Dane lost in the last contest by some amazing Skullduggery from Stablemate Danny Wills... KS maybe the greatest, but Dane is the most difficult to comprehend

Looking forward to reading about Dane. Was I right in noticing a bit of reprinting in the last issue...? Hadn't you run that Dion Agius bit a few issues ago or am I going mental?

Dane's the best? Hardly.

Your desire for Andy, Bruce and Taj has finally waned, has it? Check the ASP ratings, clowns. I believe the best surfer in the world has won four events this year and is not sitting at 26th in the ratings.
