Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

after going to the other link (great stuff MOW) you realize why the spoon wasnt mass produced. that other link is very inspiring.

a bitchen labor of love M.O.W., some very nice craftsmanship there.

i couldn't tell you why, but at the time, due to the cost of research, much of our board technology came from the boating industry. They had money to spend on fastest planeshape/outline and so on, that the surf industry didn't. So we borrowed. A mat is my next craft, i'm going to bite the bullet and...

MOW, wouldn't want to change a thing. One of the guys had mentioned the hull in less powerful waves, the bog, and my thought was the keel would provide lift on smaller days.
I'm a hull fan.

guys i'm kinda speaking out of turn, but do you think that a smaller version of a keel fin, set closer to the hull, would give lift and retain the hull advantages?

guess we are the same.... :D jfooj, in the 70's there was a kneeo that killed pipe, also killed a few over inflated egos. To the best of my knowledge, theres been a 30 year silience down there. Bud keeps kneeos in view at Sunset, and that McGuire guy too. I suspected I'd get some of the reception I ...

well RW, seems to me you were one of the guys talking about spoons? Had it out lately? It was actually your post which involved me, thanks. Well, I can honestly thank you for the welcome, mahalo. So these are the stewards of kneeboarding. I would have thought I'd be singing to the chior, I didn't ev...

Murph, I've never really considered kneeboarders anything beyond another surfer, so if I have missed some drawn line - apologies. heres my take, kneeboarding (at least that I have observed) has remained rather pure when considered within the whole. The BMX and skateboarding tricks, all the BS that h...

Well, if you're surfing GLand, or most of Indo for that matter, you can almost set your watch and time your moves. Not exactly the type of wave one needs spontaneous reaction to. Also, Indo is a lot more like town than country. Which brings us back to the country, with my narrow-minded whine. And si...

smokin rock, I am 808 not RW, but thanks for the complement, I rather like his take on surfing. My statements are pretty simple, what part of promoting kneeboarding as a valid method of surfing do you not approve of? This is as simple as I can make it for you... I prefer the well drawn lines of knee...

and to some of the less meaningful responses, my vested interest extends only to the degree that I have invested a substantial part of my life to surfing. Sorry, no dollar signs. you ask my perspective? kneeos were some of the best surfers ever, why not a comeback? , i like the functional lines of k...

my statement was that some of you ought to show up in Hawaii and lay down some meaningful tracks. The Aussies are carrying your weight. Its ok if you're not capable, but why stifle an individual with the talent to pull it off? If 3' beachbreaks your racetrack fine, but doesnt really add up to much d...

Doc, sentiments of not mattering is a passive method of voicing one's opinion to maintain the status quo, would you not agree?

Exceptionaly well stated. It would be difficult to expose any better the typical American pholosphy,


ITS ALL ABOUT ME.

I am from Hawaii, but live on the mainland now. I still go to the north shore each year. no i'm not one, but have always wanted to. I'm not entirely certain my knees would make it this stage of the game. All the kneeboarders i talk with on the north shore have an accent. Usually just a couple of guy...
