We'd be interested in how it rides once you've taken it out for a test spin or two or three.

Per chance does your flex spoon have a light blue tint and is about 5' long? I sold mine around 1974/75 for $15 or so. Hopefully some one is enjoying my old board either riding it or as a wall mounting if no longer rideable.

Lefty, Thanks heaps for the link to the multi-post story on realsurf. I had the excellent luck to surf J-Bay with everyone mentioned in the stories by mentone mansion. Quite the crew at The Atlantis, including 4 kneelos: Reverend Peter Hosking, Bill, an AAir bagsmasher and nearby city councilman who...

This weekend I will look and hopefully should be able to find a b/w photo of Dave in a 1974 edition of Seabreeze, the "Voice of the Western Surfing Assn." The caption read something like "A Jammin' County Line Kneeboarder." The one afternoon in September 1987 at G-Land that Dave ...

Alfredo & Fossil Man: Blast Aloha Packages have also been known to show up on Outer Garden Isles, no leis with FedEx, boo!, but 40 minutes later a new Y2K gets its first test spin @ A*(& D#%^* w/ one other surfer out! That board is still the best I've ever had for the type waves Buddy design...

How cool is it that John Mel is riding great waves in a springie and Peter wins the Mavs Invitational?

Sometimes dreams do come true, 49th reunion @ Rockview w/ friends from 1st grade coincided w/ decent SW'er. Walked 8 mi r/t on 9-29 to find a r-hand pt break zippering down the line at waist to 2' OH, super mellow non-crowd, sheet shimmering glass to slightly side-offshore, most perfect waves I've r...

Try the World-Wide KB Bank thread in the Travel section forum on this site. If that doesn't pan out, it's maybe $35-50 each way to have a board shipped inter-Island, maybe someone has a good used board on another Island for sale or hire. And FedEx regular delivery would be the cheapest way to get yo...

J-Bay footie shaper Glen D'Arcy has shaped several sweet looking kneeboards which have been posted on this site. Also, perhaps Terence H in Durban has a mate in J-Bay or Port Elizabeth with a board to loan or hire. Also saw a vid on this site several months ago of a woman ripping up Durban or ?, so ...

Bali Hai by Stephen Spaulding in 1980 or '81 w/ the warm aroma and empty beer bottles rolling under the seats every minute or so. Classic flick.

Keep us posted on your experiments, and how each new design tweak works. My daughter may soon get a Sweet Potato or the upcoming Hot Potato as a footie board, plus am hoping she'll try the soft kneebd I got on this site several years ago, so your posts are doubly interesting and timely!

Body Glove/Dive N Surf aka Dive n Split in Redondo Beach often has big tent sales where they sell semi-hard soled booties, 3mm, that work w/ Duck Feet Super XL. The Sports Authority chain also has the Body Glove booties on sale for about $12-18.00. Vana can penetrate the semi-hard soles, but the rea...

There is or was a thread on here about the Worldwide Kneeboard Bank. Not sure if there are any Kauaiians in the Bank. Sounds like you are ready to join the Bank. If you're thinking about a new board, Buddy McCray at Blast on Oahu can get a new board shaped and delivered to Lihue. I did that in '08 a...

Way to go, Marcus! Your composition and timing is spot on. And again thank you so much for helping track down that great watershot Tim took of Susan aka The Aqua Girl - it meant so much to her that she had friends like you and Tim. At her Celebration of Life, I gave Ian & Evan framed shots of th...

I first met David at several WSA contests at County Line & elsewhere about 1973 or '74. He had a smooth carving fast style and loved to kneeboard w/ his friends. Then in 1987 or 1990 up paddles a smiling kneeboarder on a nicelooking fish at G-Land -- he recognized me but not vice versa as I don'...
