The young man Dane Reynolds hated but now learned to love
A super video about Jake Kelly, also featuring the entire talented Ventura band
The title of the video is "I used to hate Jake" and it is signed by the creator of the Chapter 11 channel, which is Dane Reynolds.
As he recounts on his site, just as Reynolds was in the depths of his existential crisis, unsponsored and trying to make his movie, the original Chapter 11, Jake Kelly and his friends were well-sponsored and crowdsourcing all the spots.
But then he says he finally met him and felt like an "idiot" because Kelly is a good person, he says.
Besides being a good person, he is a very good surfer... And following in the negative footsteps of the genius from Ventura, Kelly is now the one without a sponsor.
