Catching up with Dane Reynolds | Skate Sonr

Catching up with Dane Reynolds

In our current issue’s “Endless Joy,” author Tony John Andrews explores how the once elusive Dane Reynolds has become more accessible than ever before. “A different Dane has begun appearing with greater frequency in the surf media,” he writes, “more candid and at ease, denouncing his old self as ‘a brat.’ I wanted to know what had changed, and how, as well as to fill in the gaps of his story. I wanted to understand the secret behind his mystique—was it constructed or authentic? Both? Neither? I wanted to know if he regretted quitting the tour, turning down many millions more in sponsorship deals, and never winning the world title to which his talent so obviously entitled him. I wanted to know where he was going, what was left, and how he felt about it all.” 

In this short film companion to the print piece, Reynolds explains the aesthetics and impetus of his surf filmography, favorite wave, and fatherhood, followed by a Marine Layer Productions and Chapter 11 montage. 

Film by Hunter Martinez.
