Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Gentlemen I love your comments and posts. I would love to catch up. A surf and a coffee. North South east or west you tell me. Keep the humour coming.

Kneeboaring and kneeboarders are alive and well. Just because some nobody as usual decides he knows everthing about kneeboarding through the eyes of Google search. History has to be told by the people that was involved not outsiders that just take snipits from other stories. Everything you read and ...

you have it all covered from one to five fins and a holy mat. Welcome from another new comer to the forum.

Steve I thought it was. Great to hear you are still surfing. I got your number from Parksy a few years ago and tried to contact you on my last trip to Indo. They were great days in the alley at North Narra. Do you still ride a rounded pintail and wear the gloves. I am of to California in a few days ...

nothing is ever as simple as it sounds. From the first time we saw Michael surf as a young kid at North Narra we knew he was going to be a champion kneeboarder. His love for the sport was very evident. He used to ride them stand up with no flippers and destroy the waves in the alley. Michael has his...

4 water shots taken by John and front covers of Surfing Magazine. The shot of John in the tube with Mark Richards taken by Peter Crawford. 2 early kneeboarders that captured all surfing forms.

Scott just put your weight over the fins and turn up the face of the wave. Let the tail slide until you are in a position where you are by half way on the turn. The board will come around by itself. The hard part is getting the turn past half way. These are a sliding 360. The full arc 360 is a diffe...

Great old single fin rounded pin tail. You had to draw your turns with this board. Nice rocker and outline.

Their is no write or wrong design. Each surfer surfs a board to his or her requirements. a good shaper can do that. I shaped boards for people all over the world. Beach breaks - reef - long walls - tubes - big - small waves - lightweight - heavy young - fit - unfit - full on surfer - recreational su...

Whiptail article and outline of two mid 70's boards & first twin fin board made at FT's in Surfing World add

Of the front rail is the difference. Today's turns of of thrusters are a stall with the rider pivoting of the back of the board in a stall. The angle of the board is facing up stalling your turn. Simon's bottom turn is not in a full arc. To gain maximum speed your board has to be flat. The widest po...
