Hi Marky. Have you actually seen an Austin board up close? ..... Here is an interesting article about Austin that was featured on our local news section of the newspaper last summer: http://hamptonroads.com/node/295221 Virginia Beach native making waves in the surf business Posted to: Business © Jul...

I rode my new Austin KB the other day. Performed great! The board paddles well, good amount of flotation for a big guy like me, just aim it wherever you want and it catches waves easily. Very responsive, great turning, fast board. Can't wait until the next swell so I can do it all over again. I cann...

I live in Virginia Beach Virginia. When it comes time to get a new kneeboard its often very hard to find one or you have to look outside of Virginia and the entire East Coast to get one. Well that is something that is probably changing. There is a young surfboard shaper named Austin that lives and w...

There is a very good full feature movie titled "Unsalted" that is about surfing the Great Lakes. The movie has a little of everything in the movie, history of surfing the Great Lakes with some cool vintage film. Lots of great footage overall throughout the movie. The guys that surf the Gre...

I sort of like the idea of spray painting find with a nice thick coat of Silver paint (here in the mid-Atlantic states we like to call it "Carolina Chrome") Matter of fact after your have sprayed your fins silver you might have enough in teh can to spray paint your board and wetsuit silver...

I was out tonight shopping and I dropped into the surf shop that was next door. I checked out the swim fins that they had in stock and I saw that they have one last pair of Churchills Makapuus black in color size XL that first 13-14.5 So I bought them. I am glad that they are black because I have al...

I have a question about what Swim Fin do you use if you surf in cold water/ winter conditions? I have in the recent past just hung up kneeboarding during very cold conditions and one of the main reasons is due to not having a good swim fin that is large enough to accomdate my wetsuit boots. I do hav...

I surfed on Sunday afternoon. It was okay. Monday I worked but the wind was honking hard from the NE. Today I went out at 3:00 caught some waves and had an okay time until my surf leash broke and I had to call it quits. Tomorrow morning (wednesday) looks promising. The wind is calm tonight and is go...

gogglefog, do you live in North Carolina??? All of us east coast should get together one day during a good swell. For most of my kneeboarding that I have done since 1975 has been pretty much by myself without any other kneeboarders. I did go to school with a couple of kneeboarders but I think they e...

I like the way that wave map looks!!!! Nice colors.

I am sitting here with my fingers crossed that Florence will develop into a hurricane and move off the coast and northward so we east coasters will have some nice waves. I am off of work Tuesday, Wed, Thurs, so I might just have a good chance to get my wish. I did get to surf TS Ernesto. Friday afte...

I saw the posts about art etc. I am a kneeboarder and an artist. If you would like to check out my art you can by going to either my website: http://davmo.net or you can check out some of my art on my "My Space". There you can see some art that I have on there too. http://profile.myspace.c...

I think the waxers have it. I will add some wax everywhere I think that I might need to grap or hold onto. Maybe a little on teh pad woun't huirt either. For all these years I have only ridden boards that had no deck pad and you had to wax everything. I guess the pad will be good on the old knees. T...

I have a new Ron Romanosky rounded pintail quad that my wife got be for christmas. I have yet to have it in the water but I an ready to hit the water with it soon. I have always owned kneeboards that didn't have a deckpad so I always had a real nice build up of wax on the deck for traction. Now I ha...

"You mean I kneeboarded by myself for all those years?" Yep. I'm a little older than you. In 1979 I graduated high school in VB (First Colonial). I have kneeboarded VB since 1975. I surfed North End alot, Wooden Pier, 1st Street, Croatan, Sandbridge. I been all over. In all the years that...
