Dane Reynolds, Honest in Chapter 11 Collected Thoughts 116

what youth dane reynolds surfing chapter 11

“If you haven’t already watched Dane’s new film, Chapter 11, go watch it now. It is one of the most honest pieces on surfing that I have ever seen.

As a huge fan of Dane Reynolds, I have liked almost everything he has ever been involved in. First Chapter. Young Guns. His section in Campaign 2. Modern Collective. Even Dude Cruise. But my favorite surfing of his was in Dear Suburbia. Those turns in New Zealand, my gawd.

I could try and write a few paragraphs on Dane and his surfing and how he made his own decisions and forged his own path, but no one will say it better than Dane himself. Which he does in his newest film. So really, go watch it now. And watch it a second time if you’ve already seen it.

Below is a selection of images of Dane that I was lucky enough to capture. The photos get me psyched. His surfing gets my psyched. For me, no one does it better.” —Nate Lawrence

Dane Reynolds on Public Transportation Collected Thoughts 003

This is Dane on the train to Osaka, in Japan. Osaka is about an hour from its airport and our exit flight left the next day, and as none of us had been to Osaka we decided to ride in and see the sights. The city turns out to be rad, like a smaller Tokyo,…

Craig Anderson between the bars Collected Thoughts 002

Photo by Kai Neville Kai took this photo of Craig a little before 1 a.m. in Brooklyn, New York. They’re leaving the strange party they wandered into after a Dirty Beaches show at Williamsburg’s Glasslands Gallery — truly they did, they sauntered all Australian through some odd open side door and into someone’s loft, where…

John John Florence in Barbados

John John in Barbados Collected Thoughts 001

This is John John Florence by the ghost of an Olympic pool at an abandoned resort in the parish of St. Lucy near the northern tip of Barbados, and what a useless cavity in the ground has he got here. The walls are too vertical to skate, there’s no water to ease the heat, there’s…
