"In a cruel and imperfect world, Dane Reynolds is living proof that God can still create perfection"
The surf world was awoken from its slumber yesterday with the release of Dane Reynolds’ latest short film, ostensibly presented by his clothing brand Former and housed under the lightly popular YouTube channel Chapter 11 TV.
Dane Reynolds, who is forty and known for his intuitive and explosive style of surfing, writes, sardonically the reader presumes,
Come visit the lovely shores of Ventura California where you’ll find friendly surfers eager to share their waves with you. There’s no homeless to steal your wallet and no groms to steal your waves.
Gettin a little hot? Tuck in the shade. Tubes are abundant. Endless good vibes for all. When you’ve got your fill of perfect waves drop by 83 S. Palm st. we’re eco friendly child labor free open 24 hours everything’s always on sale.
See you in paradise!
But it’s not the twitching filmic convulsions which may or may not be viewed as art – I find Dane Reynolds’ work wise and joyous – but the astonishing weight loss, one hundred pounds or more, that has been shed from Reynolds’ famous Dad Bod.
In the film, Dane Reynolds is proof that in a cruel and imperfect world God can still create perfection. Returned, or though never completely lost, is the incomparably destructive Dane Reynolds of under two hundred pounds, his surfing implausibly brilliant and extremely hard to mimic.
