Every shaper’s gotta roll one out now
LOL. well, you're not the face of CI...Before I read all of you bagging on Dane's surfing I was thinking, "That's about how I surf."
So I suck?
That board has barely any entry rocker and Dane is getting that board almost vertical in the lip! I think it would be hard to surf a board that size like that... especially with little to no nose rocker.Now there's this.
I bet a couple small insiders would make your day. I havent been there in years. I went on a small day with a light crowd and had a lot of fun. Would be nice to go back and give it a try again.The Queen looks so fun but that lineup looks like a zoo. Stresses me out, man!

I think he's surfing that board very well, and with style too.
Superbowl Sunday many, many moons ago was all-time and there was hardly anyone out. We couldn't believe our luck.I bet a couple small insiders would make your day. I havent been there in years. I went on a small day with a light crowd and had a lot of fun. Would be nice to go back and give it a try again.
In my mind, I think the idea is to push the board to its limits and see what it does. Im sure Dane cruises it because I think thats his natural style. But this video is probably just him getting crazy with it! I personally think its interesting to see what he can do on it.I don't disagree, I just think if you want to hit the lip and get vertical, surf a shortboard.
I just don't understand surfing a longer board like this like a shortboard.
If you look at Mikey February, he kills it on a shortboard, but he adjusts his style and intentions when he jumps on a mid or his twin.
Dane doesn't really. Not saying he's a bad surfer or claiming I'm better than him, just saying why bother with a mid if you surf it like that. Same with Dane Reynolds on longer "alt" boards. He's one of my favorite surfers ever but he looks like sh!t on longer boards because he refuses to adjust his style one iota. You gotta kinda love that about him but his electric koolaid acid test looked like a bad trip.
it's like the guys with the performance longboards surfing them aggressively like shortboards...I don't get that...but to each his own I guessI don't disagree, I just think if you want to hit the lip and get vertical, surf a shortboard.

Lots of guys "get " that in Hawaii - they rip as well as nose rideit's like the guys with the performance longboards surfing them aggressively like shortboards...I don't get that...but to each his own I guess
again? just agree to disagree. Beauty /style is in the eye of the beholder, etc.Lots of guys "get " that in Hawaii - they rip as well as nose ride
Because their longer boards are capable of that
Wait, are you talking about Dane G or Dane R? Because the video posted here of Dane G doesn't look to me like he's trying to surf it like a shortboard. He never tries to go vert and is just doing longer drawn out turns. Dane R, in the Electric Acid test, rode a funboard... like sh!t...I don't disagree, I just think if you want to hit the lip and get vertical, surf a shortboard.

Its alot more than CAN, these guys are amazing and have lots of styleagain? just agree to disagree. Beauty /style is in the eye of the beholder, etc.
Just because something CAN be done, doesn't mean it's pleasant to look at.
