Knee surgery

Basically damaged both knees in high school, sports related. Torn patella tendon and bone impact damage to the femur at the joint. In the 60's, when the original surgeries were done techniques weren't so good and rehab wasn't a consideration, you just got on with life. Stand up surfing was what it w...

board bag

I appreciate the suggestions. Looked up Blast on the web and sent an e-mail for info. Who sells the boards in the NW? And would you have size suggestions for a stocky guy at 240 lbs. Thanks again.

another newbie

Being in the North West, never really have seen any kneeboarders, but got hooked up on some video and it looks like big fun. I've been sp...
