Dane Reynolds' On Music You Should NEVER Pair With Surfing | StabMic with Timo Simmers

“You’ll see some guys run a Slayer track at Emma Wood and you’re like WTF. The music has to match the energy of the surfing. The energy of the music has to lay just below the surfing. It has to lift it up, not eclipse it.” As far as tastemakers go, no one’s warped surfing’s Spotify playlist quite like Dane. In this episode of Stab Mic: we learn da rules (loose). Pairing. Energy matching. Matt Biolos’ rockstar licensing loophole. And whether Chief Keef or 21 Savage belong in surf edits. Our guest this week is Timo Simmers. Former and Sun Bum-sponsored surfer, who speaks to: scoring the best waves of his life as a 16-YO on Surfline’s Maps to Nowhere trip. How hard his sister Caity charges and her meteoric, but hardly surprising, rise to World Champ. How young people consume surf media. Why he was surprised the Chpt 11 squad were “nice and normal”, not emos. Machete wars at Stab High. Sharp Eyes.  And other topics… like Jordy selling his yellow jerseys for that cold hard.
