Editors Note: Fuck the SHIFT key. Dane and Oblow both write in all lowercase. And I like how it looks. So in the spirit of Dane releasing his new short film Loaded at Marine Layer today), we have a new Back Den image from Oblow featuring a more commercial-looking Dane, in a soft blue polo.-Travis

“the year I’m going to say was 2004. the photo was shot at a house in laguna beach for quiksilver. i think it was the first time i had shot with dane. he was very quiet and not too stoked to be getting shot actually. i remember hearing a lot about him and when i saw him surf for the first time i knew he was the shit. it makes me very happy for surfing to have a guy like dane pushing the sport to the levels he has and will continue to do. i shot this with a canon eos-1 and 24-105 lens.” — mark oblow
