[video=youtube;_3aN4WvDmY0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3aN4WvDmY0&feature=youtu.be[/video] im surprised nobody posted this,but if u havnt seen it yet,check it out.danes one of the few people I can actually watch only him surfing one spot over and over.i normally hate the vids with 1 person 1 spot,but guys like dane,Kelly,and little johnny are the few I can watch them rip it apart by themselves.i remember when dane just got sponsored by quik when he was still in highschool,he was 16yrs old I believe.time flies when u get older.
see that turn at the 1:20 mark.iv been trying to do that move since I seen it at the haliewa contest with no luck.insane!!!!
Me too. He copies all my tricks then pulls that crazy hack that I'll never be able to do. Just kidding. Insane vid. He must have tree frog feet.
wow... he has some of the most insane turns. I love the huge cut backs then he times turning back into the wave perfectly so he doesn't get caught in the whitewater. so much style..
Yeah it is his "dirty dozen" or maybe his top 12 waves. Idk i didn't actually count, but that's what i inferred
WTF was that? what a freak show, holy crap. he can't surf the Tour anymore. it just wouldn't seem right. he needs to keep making vids for my entertainment until his knees crumble apart.
Yeah, that was a sick video, but believe it or not, that doesn't even showcase all his talent. A lot of those waves were just him stalling, lining up a line for an air section and then blasting off. He has way more style than that video even show cases, if you can believe that. I would like to see him kill it on tour. He has been off and on, and publicly talked about not really being into competitive surfing like that, but thats why his attitude belongs there. TO keep in balance all the guys that treat it like such a job. To be that guy that just surfs and isn't worried about all the scoring and the details... If he paid attention more to what scores, I think he would beat most guys out there.
that was the best contest webcast I saw in the last 5 yrs.waves were beyond epic and the rides were incredible.plus I like to watch a wave that's similar to home.dane was a wildcard in that event and made it to the final against slater,and he was riding a board he shaped
along with this thread, post these in the archive thread so we dont have to sort through 9 million threads to find these.... anyways, thanks for posting. Danes real good
