Alt-Left: Dane Reynold’s Crude-Tailed, Trusty Neck Beard

[Bespoke Graphic with This Info]

Waves: Rocky Point, four foot and “pretty rippable.”

Surfer: Dane Reynolds

Age: 34

Size: 6’1, 190lbs.

Board: Channel Islands Neck Beard 2

Dims: 5’9 x 20 x 2/14

Example Intro/Instagram Copy: With a brief lull between massive winter blasts, we caught a glimpse of Dane Reynolds at Rocky Point hucking air after air off the original Occy’s Left ramps and into the tradewinds on a revised take on his famous chopped-tailed Channel Islands Neck Beard, rightly named the Neck Beard 2, and had to get the skinny on that fresh fat tail. 

While dane’s had plenty of popular models with Channel Islands—including the best selling, industry-shaking Dumpster Diver—but none are quite as, well, Dane as the Neck Beard.
