In 2015, it will be just as difficult to answer who, where and why is Dane Reynolds?

Rumour has it he applied for a wildcard for the 2015 WSL, but was rejected by the powers that be.

Now while the recipients of those wildcards, Glen Hall and CJ Hobgood, are perhaps more deserved, they don’t exactly get the heart racing with excitement.

So instead we will have Dane being Dane.

He will get a few Quiksilver event wildcard and either fail miserably or dominate majestically.

He will drop clips that make everyone else redundant and then go missing for months on end.

He will be the most sought after surfer in surfing, the least professional surfer in professional surfing.

He will be loved, loathed and loved again. Dane Reynolds will be… Dane Reynolds.
