Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Would you still use a deck patch with this or is the bamboo strong enough to prevent knee dings?
How about a fin patch?

Has any body used greenlight's surfboard blanks and or the bamboo cloth.
I noticed that they have 24 inch wide blanks with rather low tail rockers.

I was just wondering how many layers of bamboo cloth it would take to make a strong board.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to try to make it out to the October contest.

What time does the contests start at?
I would like to check it out and take some pictures.

I have started a new blog to explore kneeboarding design theory. I am going through the kneeboard design forum and swaylocs to learn as much as I can about the differences between kneeboard shaping and stand up boards. If you see anything I have wrong or off pleas notify me. I am currently trying to...

Funny thing you mentioned Paipo. I just read an article about a guy that shapes and rides Paipo's with the measurements of 28 to 30 inches in width and about 6 foot long usually twin fin. The idea is you can ride larger surf with out stalling in the dead spots and the ability to lift the swim fins o...

I was wondering what would make a good beginner kneelo to try my hands at shaping. I am 6'4" 260 lbs and surf a lot of the south orange county breaks. I was considering either a crosier slab styled board or a fish. I was thinking of a board about 6'4" 23 to 24 at the waist 2 3/4 to 3"...

Would a fish make a good starter board considering our average orange county California surf? I could probably figure out how to shape an effective fish there is a lot of knowledge on fish boards floating out in the world.

I guess I will have to find a kneelo surfer one day to stick on my header. I got a little tired of doing searches in Google for things like kneelo surf lessons and seeing nothing on the topic come up. I might have to eventually write a page on how to start kneelo surfing and what makes a good start...

Surfers code rule #12 Spread the stoke. I have noticed the lack of information on the internet for a newbie to learn to start knee surfing. I can find videos on video jug and youtube on how to start stand up surfing or which board is a good board to start surfing with. There is no downloadable pdf f...

Thank you for all of the information. I found out that California knee boards have the fins spaced about 5" from the tail and Australian style knee boards have the fins about 18" up. It all depends on whether you ride more on the tail or more from the middle of the board. As soon as I get ...

I am kind of new to kneeboarding and was wondering what boards would be good to start on? I am a middle aged surfer about 6'4" and a bit north of 260 pounds. My surfing sites are basically south orange county CA. I was thinking of shaping a board for my self and was wondering what would be good...
