A wonderful response from everyone's favorite surfer!
Dane Reynolds just took to Instagram and wrote poetry. Poetry! I don’t want to taint so without further ado… ladies and gentlemen, I present Dane Reynolds.
ok so with the release of Ch11 two weeks in the past, i wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelmingly positive response,,,, surprisingly /////////// like i said i was so close to it i really couldn’t tell if i’d made the biggest pile of shit known to man or something great,,,, i feel like the majority dug the surfing, music, etc, but i sense some discomfort that they now know so much about me 😂
but, there were some who loved it, found it relatable, resonated with it… this makes me proud, this is why i made it, and i appreciate everyone who has come up to me and shared their stories, it makes me stoked to connect with those of you, who got it, plugged in, took something away.
then, some were repulsed. ’how could you complain about making money off surfing.’ message missed entirely. but whatever, if everyone got it there’d be something wrong, i believe i told my story, from a neutral stance, sure there’s irony, but that’s what i think made it worth telling…
and a big salute 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼to @theinertia for publishing the silliest most ill informed misinterpretation of a review. your review left me seething. whether the film was good or not, what you got out of it was completely skewed,,,, of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, and so, in my opinion your review sucked, your site sux, and i’m relieved to never respond to your silly emails again.
Wait. What was that?

Ok. I think I got it. As you were.
clearly dane doesn’t have pr people writing on his behalf, because he gifted the inertia its deepest desire — being mentioned by name! exposure!!
one can just imagine the frottage that went down within the mar vista-adjacent tech-bro offices when he actually put their weird little brand in front of all his followers.
nobody that looks at that rag started surfing before Costco sold Wavestorms, that’s for sure
Dane can say and do whatever he wants. He’s Dane. Just him getting to his feet on a board is better than anyone in history.
Am I missing something? If they wanna call him out personally and bash him they should do it in a different articled titled Dane’s a cry baby or something instead of insulting his work, which they said was great in their review. “Your movie is great but you suck Dane.” Then they wonder why he flipped the bird, I would too.
Oh, but it continues. Now Zachary is criticizing Dane for criticizing JP, who originally criticized Dane for criticizing Quik.
You can’t make this shit up.
Is this the moment to out myself on BG? I think so.
I’m a fan of Dane’s surfing but I can’t understand how or why he expects to keep suckling on the industry’s tits when the capitalist bullshit he’ll be forced to engage in seems to be exactly what he claims to stand against. Anyway, he’d better learn to deal with criticism if he’s going to operate in public.
Ultimately I had a pop at the cool kid and of course everyone’s going to rally round him when he reacts, despite the fact he’s not really saying anything.
Anyway, Dane, you know how it goes. If what you are doing is universally liked then there’s probably not much point in doing it.
Is this really you J.P.? Has it always been? Oh welcome!

Ha! I love so much! Now can I ask you a question? Do you really like The Inertia? I mean really? And what do you like about it? And did Dane really sound anti-capitalist in his film or just anti-Quik and did you like Zach W’s passive aggressive non-defense of your piece? And… ummmm I really have so many questions. Can we email? I’m [email protected]
historical outreach!!!!

Chas, how come you never wrote a piece on how ridiculous Zach Weisberg’s voice sounds in real life, I just came across his itw on how to do a proper shaka and felt embarrassed for him…

yeah Dane , spit the dummy , bad review , and I am never talking to you again waaaaaaaaahh
i am with you on this brutus. and that is not good for you. because i am an absolute fucker who loves satan. no, i mean, reallllly love satan. it is the bestest. but i digress. this dane fellow is a big sook. one review out of the endless fawning bro-down ass-kissing and he singles it out. this is one insecure little puppy dog. one that needs to be nestled in a comforting lap and have his head patted softly.
see! this is what owning pugs does to you!
buy a llama instead.
chill out Maurice you got your panties in a bunch when he didn’t like your straight railed, moon tail contraption.
Nah not at all , the irony of a surfer , being paid millions of dollars , as the media hyped him up , the industry bought him , the media pushed him , and now he doesn’t like personal criticism from the same source that made him.
But it could all be just a bullshit marketing ploy to bring more attention to his new brand ,
der
Not trying to defend the Inertia because they suck but what a baby. If like he said their entitled to their own opinion then just ignore them. In trying to dispute their claim that he’s a hypocrite he kinda acted like a hypocrite. Are all surfers so soft they can’t handle criticism? Literally everything he said in the second paragraph totally contradicted everything he said afterwards.
i don’t know but he seems pretty cool to the average surfer just trying to get through the day…
Not saying he’s not cool just don’t say everyone is entitled to an opinion then blast someone for their opinion. I mean that’s just common sense, he even went as far to say he won’t talk to them anymore. Thats a little much
ok.
it seems like he’s just reminding them to stop asking for favors if they want to publish stories like that. its a shit opinion. best clip in months and JP Kookbox thinks he’s a hypocrite for saying Quik sucks and mentioning his new brand in the same clip. he doesn’t need to go hide under a rock now because he wasn’t happy with how he was being treated. this “no one should complain if they take money from sponsors” is a bunch of garbage. if he got money it was because Quik thought it was a good investment.
Yea obviously the article sucked but i still think Dane acted like a 10 year old.
The inertia review goes dark in 3,2…it’s gone. Just kidding – but seriously – list the best ways for J.P. and Zach to deliver their apology
I read the Inertia once, then i carried on living my life
Boy Lovelace got mad on the Instagram thread! (We were talking about fake handshapers)
This sounds interesting! Who’s insta thread?
It was mine,I had said something about how I noticed all the trendy shapers are clearly using machines and lying about it. I have one guy that I know is full of shit and he’s one of loves “friends” he’s a guy who just throws resin on cnc cuts and claims he’s a shaper. Love took it upon himself to sort of take his boys back, not admitting that the Spanish cat (hint) who works out of his factory is not hand shaping. He sounded more like trump then the guy I admire.
RIP intertia
“ill informed misinterpretation” – soul crushing
“seething” – top shelf draw from the treasury of words
“sux” – a noun form of a verb. syntaxly mercilessly fuckingly poetic
Actual video capturing the moment Chas read Dane’s Insta post.

Dane can’t find weed either eh?
