You're ALL right - but wrong question!

OK - back to my original question: are we better off with our without Kneeboarding being in the ISA Worlds? I think it's fruitless to debate the relative merits of 1) the Internet, 2) Gatherings like Bud's in Hawaii, 3) Kneelo-only contests and 4) Videos to promote the sport versus being included in...

Stand up to ISA

Dunc points out the trickle-down effect of losing kneeboarding from the ISA Worlds: there is no longer an incentive for national organizations to provide a forum. This may not be a big deal in countries where kneelos are organized to do their own thing - but it could eliminate competition in countri...

the devil speaks

OK - enough with this devil worship! You guys just bought yourselves 10 to 15 years in the hot room downstairs. Thanks to Ed for some pretty creative and hilarious writing. Also thanks to Steeno for the props and the great times back in NZ at the '99 Worlds. I'll never forget the wiffle ball games a...

It's great we've got our own kneelo-only contests but I still think it's a shame that our best aren't going to get the opportunity to represent their country anymore. The two Worlds I went to were a lot of fun ...

What's the heaviest move you've seen pulled in competition?

Soul surfers beware: if you can't do it with a jersey on it doesn't count! I'd like to hear what the biggest move you've seen in a contest. I saw Gigs do something at the Worlds I still can't fully explain. It was in an early-round heat at the Brazil '94 titles. He rode the wave into the inside shor...
