Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Well I just use the normal type of knee pads such as Dave Parks type with no problems. 3M have an adhesive removal thinner made for removing masking tape and contact goo, its good but do a small test piece first the danger is any thinner eating into your polyester resin. The worlds best rubber glue ...

G'day Folks Just thought I'd drop you a report from PNG! I took a gamble and managed to get a job on an island in PNG with the hope of some new wave destinations. What can I say, its great, even though its in between seasons, there are some great set- ups. Only a handful of surfers there and only on...

The things you do when you are a kid. Early 80's I'm about 13 years old growing up in North Curl Curl (Sydney) the swell is huge, its high tide. The public swimming pool is situated just 20mtrs from the edge of the Pacific Ocean. As the huge swells would crash over the rock ledge next to the pool, a...

unfortunately we had a 17 year old kid get caught in the rip and drown here last week. JAWZ :? Rips are the tools of a surfer’s trade, if you don't know how to use them, then you will get hurt. I used to live in Evans Head and to get out the breakwall/ river mouth you would throw your self in the r...

Nori backs code of the waves June 18, 2006 SPORT and Recreation Minister Sandra Nori is backing a move for a department-run pilot program to design a code for surfers' behaviour in the water. The code will state the surfer furthest inside and closest to the peak has right of way, not to "drop i...

They say that sharks can smell blood at 1 part per million of sea water at a distance of 1/2 mile away. I once got tied to the bottom of a reef 2kms out from Exmouth by my leg rope and then washed up onto dry reef after it snapped. I had blood coming from all parts. I remember thinking : I'm going t...

Once I stopped stealing my older brother’s kneeboards, :oops: I started to only get custom made boards for myself. I tried many different shapers with different levels of success, the more time you spend with your shaper in the beginning the less time you have to spend in the long run, because they ...

Gogglefrog We had a kombi van that we bought in the UK, but alot of Brits were travelling up on a bus that came from Agadir to Taghazout (20kms North) and would organise lodgings once they got there. Some of them would wait in the UK on stand-by and travel for next to nothing once a seat became aval...

G'day Gogglefrog I surfed in morocco back in the early 90's. We surfed most of the coast but the standout would have to be the Taghazout area not far from Agadir. It has 2 great spots Anchor piont a right hander that can hold some big swells and Killer piont which on the right day will break right t...

Brave kid

I was watching some blokes practicing their tow-in surfing up here in wa. They travel up and down the coast as they look and catch the waves that they want, driving from the deep and into the shallows, covering a lot of ground in a very efficient manner, a zig zagging pattern ranging from 0 to 1000m...
