Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

I've got an Olympus u720. I bought it when they first came out (about 2 years ago maybe longer) It's only rated to 1.5 m so I also bought the waterproof housing. I quite often tuck the camera (without housing) under the neck of my wettie, never had any real problems with it, takes good pics only 7MP...

It's not just QLD. They seem to like chasin' cars thru the Citylink Tunnels and down the Freeways around here too. Plenty of times I've looked in mirror and thought ''somesone put chrome bars on my rear window only to find out it's some truckie who's not happy about only 80 kmh in an 80 kph zone

Hey Kev, for some reason I seem strangely happy to pics of stand-ups in amongst all those kneelo's, or were they tandem kneeboards ?. Nicely turned bottoms, oops I mean nice bottom turns, no wait I was right the first time.

how do steen? With luck one day he will gather all local kneelos together...he is the one person down this way who could really provide exposure. If he and Neil Luke got together there could be a two weekend festival connecting both sides of Victoria in November....or something cheers 8) 8) 8) 8) 8...

...more of a worry than a few toe nibblers.

Ahhhh, so that's why I wear flippers, gives mr bitey a rubber appetizer before he get to the actual toes. (and gives me a chance to somehow make myself look less apetizing than whoever else is out there).

Seems to have drifted a bit from what was originally asked (if I read it correctly, what sort of board, if I didn't read it correctly then just put this down to bored ramblings). If somenone wants to pay me to ride primo waves then as far as I'm concerned Bring it On! I would much rather ride a brig...

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her faithfulaged poodle named Cuddles along for the company. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction ...

no swell huh ? I passed the first one to my boss he's south african hopefully has sense of humor, if not I should have more time to surf.

G'day rat, why are you squinting ? wettie too tight ?

Can we have a "special" tequlia divison for us non Coopers types ?

I'm with KEL on this one my legs used cramp up at the drop of a hat when I'm cold , don't even have to in the water. I have noticed a dramtic improvment since I start taking a potassium supplement.

I've got the u720 (The first of the Olympus's) It's only waterproof to 1.5 m. So ibought the optional waterproff housing (good to about 30M). Obviosusly with the housing it's a bit too big to stuff in a wetsuit, but it can take a fair beating. If I'm just going out for a swim or a body surf I just t...
