Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Finally surfed some Southerly swell up here that actually showed up!
Surfed an elusive( to me at least) so. swell reef that I hardly see good enough to hassle, but finally got it pretty good. Nice to feel some power.

Hey Phil. That would make a great story for The Surfers Journal.I think you should submit it with photos and the Vader.

Home sweet home.

I feel like I can relate with you on this one CJ. I took about a 9 year detour in my life (2 years in Texas & 7 years in Sacramento) where surfing just was no longer a part of my life with the end goal of securing the future possibility of placing myself in the position to be able to move to the...

Stoked for you CJ. Nice to be able to get waves ,even crowded ones!

Yeah. can you think of anything that says kook more than a kneeboarder walking down to the water with crocs on?
I guess if I had some of those webbed gloves and colored Zinka"war paint" on I could finish out the look! You could call me the Mario Battali of kneeboarding!

Another option is to try the Oneill fin booties which are just 3mm of neoprene - no thick hard bottom sole. http://www.oneill.com/#/men/asiapacific/collection/men/wetsuits/surf/boots_hoods_gloves/heat_sock_pair/black/ This way you can still stick with the Vipers? The main draw back of those booties ...

Nice tip CP. I caught some pretty fun waves there on your advice!
I plan on wearing my springy!

It's that time of the year for the Zavala family pilgrimmage to Oceanside to visit Gramps and all the other kinfolk.
If there will be any kneeboard gatherings I'd like to know.I hope for some dawn patrols.
Looking forward to some warmer water.
What are the temps?
Thanks
Fredo

Hey to all you bros in San Diego, I'm coming down to O'side for a week for the July 4th holiday. Yeah,hopefully some warm water too. I'm thinking of taking in a Padre game in that park within a park section. Has anyone sat there, and is it worth it? Just want a cheap night out and let the kiddos run...

Real quickly, just wanted to post that I surfed yesterday and had no cramps due to the good advice I recieved from this posting!! :D I stretched more thoroughly and for longer, and added propel with calcium to my liter of water + 250 mg. of magnesium and requisite banana. We'll see if this was just ...

Thanks for the current feedback y'all. I know the calf cramp subject has come up before on the site and I remembered the tonic water cure. Well, I tried it this morning and I think that it didn't sit well with me. I was drinking on my way to the coast(probably 12 oz) and when I got there I had to go...

Okay,
I'm tired of still getting cramps in da calf muscle.
How much of that nasty stuff (tonic water) must one drink in order to recieve the therapeutic benefit?
Waiting for replies . . .
Thanks.

Actually found a spot that seemed to be the only spot picking up the So. hemi. Eventually alot of other guys figured that out too! This is why the early bird gets the worm. I was the first out! The water was so cold I actually cut short my session, (and I wear gloves, hood, and booties , 4/3!) Someo...

Wow!
Praise God for His mercy!
Joy unspeakable!
Like your "Cheeky" response too!
Thanks for the update MOW.
