Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Sorry to hear about your loss Suzie. Though I didn't know Bob aside from this site, he seemed like a great person and will be missed by many.

Nope, its not on swaylocks. I don't have any pics right now but it's a Romanosky. KBing has been a great addition to BBing, and now I usually bring both to the beach and stay in the water for a lot longer

Hehe...since this thread has been ressurected, let me just say I'm loving my 4'10" quad (can't remember rest of dimensions, oh well)

I second that, Eric! Had probably my best kneeboard session so far in the glassy peelers yesterday.

Scott, you beat me to it, I was gonna say the same thing about being a 12 month school employee Yeah, it's not so bad during the summer, with 6 hour work days, no kids or parents around, and a nice 2 week vacation in the middle of July. No complaints here. Enjoy the summer

Good to see you back on here Don't worry about the rustiness with the KB; it'll all come back to you if you keep getting out in the water.

Hi Peter, This is just my opinion, but as a begininng kneeboarder, 7'6" sounds way too long. I'm 5'2" 110 lbs, and my KB is 4'10" and 20.5" wide (can't remember the rest of the dimensions). I've been riding it for about a month now and it's working great. Since you said you never...

Hey Peter, good luck with trying out kneeboarding. I think you'll be stoked. I'm also a bodyboarder who started kneeboarding about a month ago. A softie KB is probably good to start with, but definately try out a fiberglass board w/deckpad once you get comfortable. The speed sensation, especially in...

Glad to hear the surgery was successful Jim. I wish you a full and speedy recovery. Keep the spirits up!

Where are you in Fl? I grew up in Gainesville, surfing mostly up around St. Augustine: Blowhole, A Street, Vilano etc. Hey Tim, thanks for the Kicks info. I'm in Lake Worth (by WPB). I go to St. Augustine about once a year...love the camping at Anastasia! St. Aug is such a nice laid back town. Clos...

My with-booties fins are Toobs BluntCut's if that gives you an idea of what profile fin I like. Hey Tim, I've been kicking with bluntcuts exclusively for over 10 years (bodyboarding). Lately I've been thinking about trying something new (probably has something to do with the new KB :) ) In your exp...

Hey Paul, I'll add my 2 cents as I've lived in FL for the past 12 years. Like Albert I spent about 7 years in Brevard County, and currently I'm living in Lake Worth (near West Palm). It's a given that there is no comparison with Cali as far as the waves go, but if family issues force you to move her...

Anyway, because I do shave my legs my skin gets dried out quickly, hence lotion is often needed after a shower to avoid the alligator skin look. Nothing more surprising though than dropping into a wave only to slide off the board like sh*t through a goose. :shock: Hey Darcy, I avoid that problem by...

Thanks for all the replies. I caught a few today on Eric's board and was loving the speed! I'm now in the process of ordering mine. Allison
