Dane Surfs Well, Then Waxes Climatological in ‘Peak Condition’

We all have that one friend.

“Matt doesn’t believe human behavior is influencing global warming. Matt has a 5th grade degree in science from Pierpont elementary,” opens Dane Reynolds’ latest Ch11 blog post, which is adorned by an eight-minute power edit (watch above).

Eithan is there, and Rolo Montes too. Micky Clarke gets a 25-second barrel (we timed it). And Matt Mccabe does a few cool airs. I wonder what his thoughts are on 5G.

Dane proceeds to detail some of the changes he’s witnessed in Ventura/Oxnard over the years, from a rivermouth that no longer breaks to a winter that feels like summer. Many of us have similar stories from our own hometowns. On a small scale, these things can all be written off as anomalies. But add them all together, and it’s difficult to deny the human impact on just about everything on our pale blue dot.

Dane proceeds to tube, turn, and occasionally air on waves that are decidedly not shit. All the while, a ‘Merch’ graphic flashes on the right side of the screen. It appears Chapter 11 has a new apparel line. Fine, take my money.
