Dane Reynolds’ Haleiwa turn

It would have been higher but he didn’t claim so the judges were confused

Adriano’s floater still has it for me. Revolutionary

Makes the Tom Carroll turn at Pipe look like a check turn.

#bait.

STABmag, may I suggest rephrasing your question to “Is this the best turn ever done in surfing?”

dane doesn’t get lucky. he makes his own luck. how could this possibly be a lucky moment if he constantly is trying stupid crazy shit like this? he doesn’t hold back, so i would hardly say its luck. if you watch his other waves in this heat he was trying other crazy tail release finners and not making them. luck…i’d more say pure skill and ability

i just jizzed

Rad, but The Snap probably still holds the title.

wont ever be touched.

definitely! underscored as well!

The Houdini of surfing

Danny Wills floater still has it for me.

“My board felt way to long” trade in the 5’8′s groms I feel the old 6’4 making a comeback…

In the original video I saw I’m sure the tail was in reverse just before the lip engulfed him. So he actually did a reverse under the lip/in the tube after the lip smash aye ?I can’t see this in the frame grabs here (kinda like Josh Kerr did at snapper a few years back but this closeout was way heavier)

He has out Konged Kong. The Daneback anyone?

I dispute this: “There’s probably one person on Earth that could do that turn, and it’s Dane Reynolds, pure and simple, that’s a fact.” No it’s not. We’ve seen plenty of surfers pull off nutso moves. It all comes down to chance (with a heavy dose of talent). How many times do you think Slater could pull that 360 at Bells, or any of the “punts of the month”, or etc etc etc. Dane is good, great, amazing. But surfers get lucky sometimes, and this was one of those times.

Best turn full stop comp or not

Dane is the MAN! this was amazing but i think my fav was the puerto Rico one where he got 9 point something. Either way, no one else can do this on the regular like Dane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GT1g59z7ig&list=FLv1cP0c5wCKqjIEiRJik9Gg&index=54
Actually after watching this, the haleiwa one is more progressive.

Your Welcome… that Puerto rico vid is haaard to find.

There was no reverse in there . Never was never will be . Just a completely insane Larry Layback with extra sauce . Allot extra.

Thank you. Sick. Fucken sick. Literally carving through a third dimension

ZAP! Surprised gerlach didn’t shoot his load all over the competitors area

i find this especially fucking sick because it isn’t some 2ft grovel crap.. it was solid 6ft haleiwa and he took it to absolute pieces

The dude talking about how this was luck is probably, i’m going out on a limb here but, the dumbest fucking thing i have ever heard in my life. its obvious your not much of a surfer or probably much of anything if your going to go ahead and give this one to luck. what a moron

Best turn on film hands down. Btw does anyone else find Sunny’s turns very very ugly? Kinda powerful but…not?

It looked pretty good, but I’ve done similar stuff. Just an inverted layback.. nothing that big.. lets move on people. He needs to drop his shoulder more at the top of the turn..

Best thing ive seen since M.P.’s cutback

Dane Reynolds does one sick turn and every computer kook and media asskissers are nutting all over the web boards, what the fuck is the world coming to, how gay is all this shit getting?

Something off topic Redbull is running a Eddie style paddle event at Jaws with a invite only list and a waiting period between December/March now this could be good.

Siiiiiiiiiiick!

coulda sworn it went 360, a la kerrzy style(sorry if anyone did em b4 him) but no grab… even on my, 6 point-max-for-a-one-move-wave-ideal scale, id throw a 10. as was 9.5.
to the judges. if you see something that looks kinda sick and youve never seen it before its 9+(on the current scale).. if done on a set. wake the fuck up!
kerrzys grab under the lip 360(what did you give? 4?) and jordys toes on the nose landing same year i think at trestles, rob machado justified the judges 5.? both shulda been 10 on your scale.

sorry for grammar issues…
i never saw the front angle b4 now..as to why i coulda sworn a reverse was thrown.
not sure if it was mentioned 20 years ago but jadson being given 3-4 for massive reverses on biggest-of-the-heat-waves at trestles was a crime. repetitive? ever seen sunny make a carrier from one turn? dude shreds but only has his stocky frame to thank for that turn and subsequent world title+carrier…

Kia Otton rips , LOL

whens occy surf

Medina should be taking notes…..

You guys missed Jeremy Flores do nearly the same turn the next day didn’t you? Snooze.

Dane once again mines diamonds from dogshit. Very rarely is a layback justified. It usually means amiss timed air or snap has been aborted to put an the brakes and keep it under the feet. Some great surfers, parko for example, always look weak in a layback. Danes layback takes a throw away move on a throw away section on the wrong board and makes more with it than medina can on his best air ever. It’s like the genius of jimi Hendrix channeled through foam and fiberglass. And everyone else is playing maroon five

Lucky recovery,just happened to be in a heat.the carol snap by a mile for the stakes involved. If Dane pulled that at 12 foot pipe I’d be impressed.

Everyone please stop swinging from my nuts. They’re starting to bruise. Thanks.

dane himself didnt seem to impressed. Does he think it was the best turn ever?if not what was?

That turn was a 10, not that the low score bothers Dane, all other surfers would have come apart to receive a 7.33…

no.. it was like a 5… guys pulled this shit in the eighties.. richard cram

This was a great fuckin’ turn and this was at six foot Haleiwa but it was not that great. All the commotion makes you look like 12 year olds that have never actually seen a turn before winter 2012. Do yourselves a favor and watch Tom Curren at the O’Neill Cold Water Classic 1990; Watch the snap that Tom Carroll did in macking thunderous Pipeline. Watch Mark Occhilupo turns at Bell’s, Jeffrey’s Bay. Actually you don’t need to go that far back. Watch the fade that Tom Curren did on his bottom turn in one of the big waves that he got at the Legends heat on this very same contest.

Dane is the bozzz not much more to it kooks

laybacks aren’t that big a deal. remember its just Dane so he will be gven a score on a silver plate. alot of you argue that Dane is a good surfer, but his backside turns need help and doing a layback snap doesn’t show progression. I just don’t see him doing much in the next few years. He left the tour and plays hide the rabbit on his website. Some of you are interested in buying his clothes or staring at his girlfriend. The guy has a strange taste in music and I am assuming might need help to piece together his childhood. Get a grip people, it was just a layback. I’ve done them at my beach break and 300 people weren’t there to stroke my ego. Kid seems nice .. .like the grocery man, but the Al Merrick and Quicksilver stickers don’t make him God.

flores was similar…just saying

i prefer clay marzo.. he pulls this sh4t in his sleep… oh wait, clay isn’t DANE.

Go to the heat analyzer and watch Alejo Muniz`s turn on the next round…. fucken sick as well

Hey guys, how are you doing? Everything swell?
I wasn’t going to comment here because like “no name” wrote in KS mix, stab comments turned out to be “a bunch of giddy school girls gossiping in the hallway”.
But after I checked the heat analyzer I just had to.
Don’t you be fooled folks, that youtube video is misleading. The “super” turn dane did was the only turn he did on the wave and not the third turn as the video above seems to try to portrait. Don’t you believe me? Just check: http://vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/reefhawaiianpro2012/heat-analyzer
Make sure to click on “Round of 96″.
I just don’t like to be lied to.

either way – that turn was sick.
sorta like them double hand layback gouges that jo-flo / rastaman do
except mad-max style from the 23rd century.

niggas b tripping if they think they can do shit like that

best turn i’ve ever seen

yeah, and if there’s anybody that doesn’t know shit about surfing and whether a turn is anything to get excited about it’s Shane Dorian, such a flavor of the month surfer. you fags crack me up, that turn is as legit as they get. that shit would have broken Gabby’s leg.

You can’t compare this turn to Tom Carroll’s at Pipe because it’s different waves and different sections. Both were super critical and pushed the boundaries but Dane’s was pure talent and skill on a shit wave. It wasn’t even a layback, he does a full carve and blows the tail so hard out the back of the oncoming lip that he had to use the nose of his board to stick into the wave!! Sickest turn ever!! Anyone who says they’ve done a similar turn has never seen themselves surf on video. If the best surfers in the world call Dane the best surfer in the world, and many of them saying it’s the best turn they’ve ever seen. Period. What does that tell you? Too many kooks on this forum!!

fukin donkeys round these parts. idiots go back to your cubicles. that turn was straight up gnar.

I have an idea…let’s get on stabmag.com and just hate on shit that is clearly rad and then we can argue about it for a couple of days till the next mind boggling thing comes out. Then we can argue about that… Yayyyy…. Fun…life is so colorful…. This is great…

haha so true ^….. just go surf and enjoy the ocean

He fell off and while getting ragdolled he grabbed his board, got back on(this he had to do twice as the first time it was upside down), and stood up just in time to come out of the wash. I seen it with my own eyes and I wasn’t even there.

Shoulda done a floater.

its a carving ‘kerrupt flip’. A big one.
