K-man, a desire to "rewrite the article" was the sentiment that led to us getting Legless.tv going. Amid all the reports of kneeboarding's irrelevance and unpopularity we thought it might be nice to simply show the world kneeboarding as we see it: progressive, dynamic and fun. I hope that ...

Mr Warshaw's blog might be taken as proof that blogging allows one to quickly and easily send into cyberspace that which is less than perfect. It might also be taken as proof that kneeboarders will always be misunderstood. I don't know which of those statements is more true, but I can tell you that ...

It's a surf contest, some of the best kneeboarders in the world are our local treasures, and they will be included. Those are the words of a man who knew his surf history and probably recognised it as such even as it was being made. Very sorry to learn of this loss to the SD surfing community. Thou...

Shannon was among the vast number of people I haven't yet had the chance to meet. His passing in this way is no less tragic for that fact. What drives a man to such an act none of us can say. Our thoughts and prayers are with Shannon's family and friends, especially his partner, Jane, and daughter M...

I dunno ... you just have to pick your time. Dawn patrol was pretty good today from Snapper through to Big Groyne. OH sets, not a zombie in sight, no serious wave thievery and comfortable in shorts and a rashie. Did I mention barrels? No? Well never mind.

I think this is less about kneeboarders missing out on something new than it is about stand-up board manufacturers jumping onto something old in an attempt to get some sales. Kneeboards have been shorter, wider and thicker for ages already and kneeboard shapers have always done their own thing. Alwa...

Talk to David about a rounded square 4/5 fin board specifically for small crappy waves. What you'll end up with will be similar in planshape and rocker to the JS thing but will be an actual custom built kneeboard with adequate width and better fin placement that won't require any mods. If you really...

why is the need to be alpha male so strong in those least able In a certain type of semi-domesticated urban human, natural laws are turned upside-down. Thus those blessed with the least ability are cursed with the greatest need. Many such infest the swampy coastal regions of south-east Queensland.

Vocab.

ps its spelled whining! (thats been buggin me for days) Actually, Randy's using an old Australianism here. Whinge: a verb, meaning to complain persistently in a peevish or irritating way, also used as a noun meaning the act of complaining in such manner. Hence: whinger (n: one who whinges), whingei...

that right looks fun too Yep, it's kneeboard heaven, a joy to surf if you ever get the chance. There have been some changes since that footage was shot. You can't drive along the point these days, you have to battle for a spot in the car park when it's on, though you can buy a nice beach house over...

I should not respond to trolls.

Those are beautiful waves, but hell wipeouts. This Cloudbreak footage, like what we've seen from Teahupoo recently, shows the incredible power in big, fast-breaking hollow waves. The hydrodynamic energy in those things must be enormous. There's no way I can see you could escape an absolute flogging ...

Strewth mate, a close call. We're lucky to be able to simply front up at Emergency and get fixed up more or less straight away. I'd guess the extra waves you'll get on that new board are going to be fair compensation for an itchy groin ...
