Watching Dane Reynolds surf is incredible. He's ridiculously creative. He boosts over the lip on nearly every wave, and does a huge variety of insanely fast and stylishly tweaked power airs. He is exciting beyond belief, because you never know what or where he's going next. His spectacular surfing has made him one of the most popular professional surfers in the world, and he regularly ranks no. 1 on the media's exposure metre.

He has had numerous groundbreaking performances and video sections. Highlights include: the ‘Young Guns' movies; ‘Stranger Than Fiction'; ‘Dane Reynolds: First Chapter', which won “Best Male Performance in a Video” as well as “Video of the Year” at the 2006 Surfer Poll Awards.  Dane also invaded the Top Ten of the 2009 Surfer Poll Awards, bringing home a 3rd place in the men's category.

Despite the attention and acclaim; the media frenzy and the fans; Dane lets nothing go to his head.  Dane remains quiet, humble and a somewhat reserved guy.  Some would say he is cool, ice cool.  He does things his own way, leaving everyone else following in his wake.  He is seen as an alternative and independent style icon.  Dane is an enigma both in and out of the water.  He is perhaps the most exciting surfer in the world to watch, wherever and whenever he surfs.
