Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

I made my hotel reservation today. Pray for some tropical juice!!!
I'm bringing two boards, a Blast Aussie tri and a Dean Cleary quad. Consider them demo's for anyone who makes the trip.

It's been a few weeks since I plugged in a pair of Occy fins with a gs trailer into my Blast 5'11" tri. I think this is close to an ideal set up for waves chest to a few feet over head. My board is still loose but I feel that I can get some drive speed, not just flow speed out of it. Florida's ...

Hey Tumak,
I'll call you Mon. night . We're about 5 minutes from each other, so you can come over any time and check out my new Blast, or maybe we can meet with George.
I surfed the Inlet two weeks ago DP, but I do most of my riding at Wabasso Beach (7 miles south of the Inlet) or the Boardwalk.

Hey Tumak, When it comes to balsa, George is the man. Ive seen his boards in shops and in the water, I didn't know he shaped kneeboards. I won't attempt to shape, but my friend is a shaper and he's the one interested in doing a balsa kneeboard. I forwarded your post to him and he's going to give Geo...

Tc, I've been surfing all types of boards since the early 80's and have kneeboarded for only 6 months. 5'11" 200lb.'s and 41y/o. I started with a used board from Mark Robertson, a Dean Cleary quad. Last month I got a Blast Aussie tri 5'11" 23". The pics in my photo gallery up to now a...

I tried using my MRX fins with a gs trailer but I found the results dissapointing. I went back to my G5's and got back into the magic of an Aussie tri. Yesterday I picked up a pair of Occy's and am waiting for another swell to try them out. Any one brave enough to make a quad optional setup, keep re...

Hatteras is on!!!
Hey David K. I hope you win the lottery and make over to check out the "Crown Jewel" of the East Coast. I got ALL your beer covered if you can make it.

I've been surfing my new Blast aussie tri 5'11" on the issued g5's with a gx trailer. I've ridden the past week on surf ranging from thigh high to solid head high hollow shorebreak, and having heaps of fun with controlled slide drops and quick direction changes. Florida's been getting very good...

Like Willi, I'm new to kneeboarding (6mo.) but not to surfing. I bought a used Dean Cleary quad, the quest model, and started having fun on my first session. It's a great board that will cranks off a bottom turn, and rides well in the pocket. I haven't ridden a Parkes quad, so I can only use the DC ...

My new Blast Aussie tri arrived today, and there's a chest high swell running!! :D I'm going to ride it with the issued fins for a while till I get it wired and then put in my MRX carbons, with and without a small trailer. Recently, I saw a guy with a super small FCS trailer. Removed, this thing loo...

Hey Albert,
My friend is having Brian Tudor glass some new sticks. Brian has your old templates and said we can use them to shape a few kneeboards.
How did those boards ride compaired to what your riding now?
Hope it gets good there.

Hey Ryan,
I picked up a nice used board from Mark Robertson. Drop him a line and start rippin!!!

I've got a friend who shapes regular surfboards and we are interested in seeing what would be involved in having him shape some balsa kneeboards. Does anyone know where we could get some balsa board blanks and what some of the design issues would be? Is anybody riding any of the old balsa kneeboards...

Stephen, That's an excellent idea. Let me know if I can help to organize something. The Outer Banks can be epic in late August and September, but the closest airport is Norfolk and then its another 1.5 hour drive to Nags Head and another hour to the fabled Hatteras Light and the groins of Buxton. I ...
