Hey Kneeler's. Here's a waterskate from the 70's by one of my old neighbors in Carlsbad, CA. He like Greenough made a lot of innovative stuff.

Sorry for the late post, I have to agree with brad on the fins and foam, recommend routering out the deck area where your knees are and use a sheet of divinycell if your going to use red. Just from my experience. Also a sheet of carbon 2x2 over that and your board will be almost impervious to the pr...

Surf Systems Spoon by Bill Thraillkill in San Diego, He's a legend at Windansea... enjoyed talking to him at the boardroom show last week.

Hello Kneelers, Picked up this sweet fish from Tony Caramagna at TC Surfboards yesterday. I could kneeboard it at Terra Mar without getting hated since its technically a longboard. I could do some cheater two's (knees) on it. just need a long deck pad. Seriously Tony is an excellent craftsmen and ca...

Hey Kneelers, I Saw Chuy Reyna from firewire at the board room show this weekend. We talked about the sweet potato and fin setup options.

The three of us use to make stuff under the DownSouth label starting in the late 70's. Barry Snyder remembers, he lived up the street fr...

Watched the movie this morning, Very cool... I was a cliffs regular back then riding my take on Steve's boards. Lots of innovations going on back then. Brought back some serious memories of how much fun we had back then.
Definitely worth the 5.99

Just wanted to say hi to all the kneelers out there. just joined the site the other day. Started Kneeling back in the early 70's at Sunset Cliffs and OB. Thanks to my buddy Glenn. Tore up a lot of old longboards back then to make kneeboards till we could afford real blanks. Thanks Mitch at Mitch's S...

The Sweet Potato with fins moved up sounds tempting, I surf with Firewire Rep's Wife in SD North County. I'll have to check with her about possibilities. Here's a video by her husband a few years ago on the Sweet Potato. Aloha, Mike Sunset Cliffs Kneeboarder 1970's Steve Lis Apprentice https://www.y...
