The surfing world’s collective heart was broken when Dane Reynolds ended his Quik Pro France run with a Round 3 loss. This was his year, people thought. Things are different now, people raved. Unfortunately difficult conditions got the best of ol’ Dane and he was sent packing. But not before he enjoyed a little prepaid vacation on the beaches of France. Hossegor is aptly suited to Mr. Reynolds’ style of surfing since it so resembles the wedgy beachbreaks of his home in Ventura. So enjoy this silky smooth parting gift from Dane as we wait for him to receive another elusive wildcard.
