Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

We had several excellent days before and during Christmas. The Right had 3-4 classic days, 4-6' faces, 70 yard barrels, the sand buildup there is excellent right now. Gravels has not really come on. Most of the swells have had too much West in them for classic Gravels. For the last 4-5 days it has b...

I just looked over the photos and they are excellent! A lot of rippin' goin' on there.

Scott, Stoked to see that you are committed to come down. Let me know if you arrive early or stay later and we can surf other days as well, or, set-up some evening entertainment. The Laguna Beach nightlife can be interesting....................Tom PS: Surfed the "right off the Point" yeste...

Jon, I have an extra small wave board (a Parkes quad swallow, 23.5 wide) that I'm sure you would enjoy. Also, I will try to bring several boards down to the beach that we can play around with.

Hey Albert, good to hear from you! No idea what's up with the Surfer Bowl. No word on that has gone out. We are planning on setting up two KSUSA recommended events that are put on by the WRSA soon. That way there will be 3-4 contests a year for kneelos on the West Coast. Also, had two sessions at Sa...

Bob,
Can't be there for OB. Call me if you want to chat. Also, I will be in Belmont on 12/24....................Tom

Jon,
It would be very cool if some of you SC guys made it down. You are welcome to stay at my house if you need a place to stay..........................................Tom

May need to move the post gathering party to Bob's place in Monarch Beach. BBQ includes view of surf which may force multiple go outs. Hope you don't mind Bob.

HOwzit Brad, long time no see. Will you be at the Black's Gathering?

Salt Creek Gathering. Could be excellent tubes well suited to kneeriding this time of year. Due to high cliffs and off shore kelp it rarely blows out. Tides are perfect for this date as well. I am usually the only kneelo out and would be very stoked to have the kneelo hordes descend on my local brea...

I confess, Shew and I put those nice smelly women's panties on various contestants hotel room doorknobs during the Santa Cruz Kneelo Festival. For some strange reason they kept returning to our own doorknob however. I'm going to bring new smelly panties to the Black's Gathering and attach them to Ja...

Put me and my wife down as a go for Tavarua as well

Don't forget that we also have one Canadian coming down from British Columbia!! Stoked to see you in the event Matt.

Jack- regarding the Venetian, I was planning on staying there. Maybe we can share a suite. Greg Shewman and Tom Backer were planning on staying with me. I will be arriving on Wednesday night. Let me know if that works for you...........Tom

If anyone has a financial difficulty with the entry fee or costs of lodging while in Santa Cruz please contact me at tklinn@aol.com. Hopefully we can locate free or very cheap lodging and maybe we can find someone to sponsor your entry into the contest. I'm renting a hotel suite nearby for $80 per n...
