Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

KneeloMaine:
Sent you a PM with questions about your new Stub Vector.
Thanks,
Nick

Chris:

Nice looking wave. Kind of "slabby" looking. Been a really good Fall on the East Coast. Don't know if you've seen any of the pics-especially OBX and Jersey-on any of the surf websites. Lots of tubes.

Going to be in Oceanside from August 12-19. Would like to know if there are any kneelos in the area that might have a kneeboard that I could borrow. I'll be there with a group of surfers from the East Coast(USA). We are bringing a quadriplegic surfer out to surf the San Diego area. One of the places...

Also, on Swellinfo there's a short video clip of Blacks from Friday-Jan.8. First guy up and riding is a kneelo going left. I'm not from out that way. So, don't know who the rider is. Someone from the local Blacks crew?

I believe Scott Busby up at Natural Art Surf Shop in Buxton,NC has shaped some kneeboards for people on this site. Otherwise, look for people on this site selling one of their boards. That's how I got my first kneeboard.

Thanks for the feedback AB. I did check past forums. But, didn't see any mention of either the Viper Vectors or DaFins. I'll look into the Octoblades.

Looking for anyone who uses(or has used) the Viper Vectors or the DaFin flippers. I want/need a new pair. And, am looking at either one of those. Currently using cut down(1"-2") Kicks and Vipers V5. Would like something that is light,but has good thrust. Thanks.

I also have the Indofins copy of Futures Quad Controllers. Like them a lot-fast,good drive. Nick.

Luke: I'm certainly no expert on surf in that area. However, I live north of there in Delaware. And,have surfed in Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks(North Carolina). If you have access to a vehicle, your best bet is the Outer Banks. It's the prime surf area on the East Coast. Fall is a good time fo...

I use a Surf Tech board bag-model 5'10"HP. I think it was made for retro fishes and wide fun boards. It's a great bag. I use it for my 5'10" quad fish.

Sounds pretty harrowing. Glad you guys survived. Don't have anything like that to deal with over hear on the East Coast. Maybe the occasional syringe and 2x4 after a hurricane, but that's about it.

Check out the video on SwellInfo-"Blacks Beach Big Friday 2012". Couple of seconds(around :35) of a kneelo catching a really nice wave.

Doug:

Fun chest high waves about 1,000 miles north of you in OCNJ this morning. Light NW winds. No fishing just dolphin watching.

Nick.

Ok. Have to see if the forecast holds up.

Thanks. That would be great. Where do you get your boards? What shapes work the best on the East Coast?
