Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Hi Pes78, the flickr link isn't working for me, but I'd like to see you pics.

This was quite a good design thread on shaping fishes from 2004: viewtopic.php?t=655&highlight=markyv

Probably a bit late now Rippe, but my advice on this is that unless you are using an expensive surfboard resin or have additive F, I would do a poly hotcoat over your epoxy lam. Sanding epoxy makes you want to slit your wrists otherwise (unless you've got additive F which makes sanding gorgeous.) So...

So sad to hear of your loss, Scott. I only knew MOW through KSUSA but he had a profound effect on me through his words here and his embodiment of what I learnt is the kneelo spirit: a willingness to experiment and try new things and a willingness to share and support others no matter how far removed...

HI BTM, thanks for sharing your method, really interesting. I'm trying to visualise the frames you describe, but it would be good to see some pictures. To be honest, I've stopped with the hollows now. After building 6 or 7 of them I realised that wood skinned composite-sandwich boards were much more...

Really enjoyed that! Great writing and pics, thanks Rob and Steen

Hope you and family and friends are okay Jerry What a way to start your tropical retirement...

I did mine last year so I feel for you! I don't think anything really helps much though the ibuprofen probably worked the best. Good news was that when they mend it happens really suddenly. I remembered one day I couldn't lie on my board, the next I was back to four hour sessions. I asked the doc ab...

Great to hear from you Jerry!
Looking forward to seeing more pics of you in warmer waters

Fantstic post, thank you for sharing! Look forward to more.

Good to see the site is back up! Quick report. Thank you again to all those pming me get well messages here and on the dreaded FB. Back at home now after almost 2 months in hospital. Really great to be with my family and in my own environment. Had a few complications including a flesh eating bacteri...

Nasty Mike Hope you get better quick. Look forward to seeing some of the gopro footage (not of the accident, but of the surf!)

Op went well. Yes Ab, it was a splinter of about 14cm that was missing, the actual gap was probably nearer 2-3cm. I now have a bit of bone grafted from my arse and a long titanium plate strapping it all together. Was pretty winded after the op but feeling a bit stronger today. Main challenges now ar...

Hi Sam, take a look at this post from 2004:
viewtopic.php?t=655&postdays=0&postorde ... sh&start=0

It was an absolute gem on basic fish design with lots of contributions from ksusas most knowledgeable fish and kneeboard shapers.

Have fun!

Dear all, I haven't been able to login to ksusa for a while so imagine my surprise when I took a look just now and saw all these messages. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I'm in Singapore now. They patched me up and probably saved my life in Indo, but things went down hill a bit after that w...

I've heard so many of Dave's stories over the years. For all of his bravado and bull, Dave was a really kind hearted guy I believe. As Stephen says, many of the most fantastical stories turned out to be based in truth of a sort. He lived the dream, chased the dream, and probably beat the dream to de...
