Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

I had knee surgery, 15 years ago. ACL reconstruct. The last few years I would get tighter and tighter in the hips and knees as I tried to stay with my two sons (standups) at Blacks and the Harbor on the big days. Cramps in the calf area were a norm towards the end of almost every session. I teach in...

Chris, having had ACL reconstruct and a meniscus cleanout on a knee, rotator cuff repair (shoulder) and complete reconstruction of a wrist (ladder fall, 1 year ago), I can tell you that if you have structural issues in the knee or other places, you will battle it until it is fixed. MRI's do not allo...

Talked with Joe yesterday, he is packing it up. Anyone know of another Ding repair specialist in the North San Diego county area. Thanks.

PM SamC. He attends Cal Poly SLO. He is always up to take a fellow Kneelo around his area.

My sons have worked for the past 5 years at a Surf School here in North San Diego county with two different locations. The location at the Oceanside Pier is permitted by the the Oceanside Main Street Association which is a derivative of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. The Main Street Association ...

Randy, the Temple is pretty cool. Kinda weird driving through a cemetery to get to it. It is in Kaneohe. http://www.byodo-in.com/

HB, I think it was two sunday's ago, there were about 5 of us out at South Jetty (O'side Harbor) and we were all swapping boards. Akio had a Schoelkopf, Craig had a Schoelkopf (the "Elf shoe" design), Jeff had his Blast, Joe had his Freeline and I had my new Flashpoint. We were passing the...

Frog, I would suggest Joe at Hendig board repair in Oceanside. Repairs anything. Firewire-Epoxy-regular foam. An artist. U.S. Military trained in composites. Super nice guy. 760-967-4140.
Regards, Chris.

Tim, I have used a couple of the quad sets from FCS. The one thing I have learned is that the aftermarket fin sets make a big difference. they can change a board instantly. If you have a plastic finset and go to one of the higher end, lighter stiffer for example, that board can now become MAGIC! I h...

Fredo, thanks so much for the intel on your area. I am going to look in the areas you suggested this coming Friday. I will let you know. I have had the procedure to which you are asking. About 10 years ago I had a torn rotator cuff repair on my left should and in 2006 and 07 my right shoulder was re...

Heading back to Cal Poly next Friday to meet with the chairman of the Journalism Dept. to see if it is a good fit for my first born. Surfhorn, a PM to me would go to Ncountykneelo, not NCkneelo. Anyone else who might have some suggestions on where to surf near SLO in the AM on Friday, Nov. 21st. wou...

Can some locals chime in on places to stay near the Lane? Is there going to be a KSUSA "base camp" Hotel? Thanks for any help in this area.

Headwax, I just put a set of the Medium FCS Q-PC5 quad my everyday board (Schoelkopf 5'10") and it has really changed the board and my riding. It sounds like I am just a rookie compared to how much analysis you have done in the area of fin changes. I can say one thing for sure so far: If you do...

My firstborn just went on a college tour. He checked out LMU, USC, Pepperdine and Cal Poly SLO. I think SLO has a bit of an edge as they just happened by the Shaping Bay in Admin Building on campus. There were over 100 blanks in various states of shape. The Tri Tip Sandwich at the Thursday night str...
