Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

having some money in the bank would be good, perhaps order some x-tra kneeboards to have around I agree, a capital plan! Been working on it (off and on) the last lifetime or so. No joy as yet. I'm beginning to suspect my habit of spending time floating in the sea limits my ability to get hold of th...

Frencho, that's truly awful news. I believe that it's only when we become parents that we can really begin to comprehend the enormous value and sanctity of life. To make a new life, nurture it with love and then lose it so soon must be pain beyond belief. God only knows why such things happen and it...

Tomway, definitely Lennox, though in the still you posted I don't see all the cars parked in the top car park ...

It's a fantastic wave. Whatever size it is it seems a lot bigger. Shame you can say the same thing about the crowd too.

Tomway I can only imagine the heartbreak you must be dealing with every day.

Helping in the way you've asked is such a simple matter I'm sure nobody here would decline the chance to do it.

Prayers, best wishes and a big hug to young Patrick from us here on the Goldie.

Hey Fossil, what I didn't include in my earlier post on this was that the forward dive off the board only ever comes right at the last possible second, when everything has shut down. Until there's no hope of getting out of the barrel, there's always a chance that you will make it. Another thing I fo...

... mercilessly bludgeoned like an uninvited yuppie at an outlaw biker party. That's gold. I'm sure there are others far better qualified than me to answer your question but here's my two cents worth anyway. As a youngster I developed a theory that the best place to be in a closeout is right in the...

With all the good karma flowing back at you Tom, your recovery should be both swift and certain. You'll be back in the barrel soon enough. Best wishes from the Goldie.

Perhaps someone's already posted in relation to this - if so, my apologies - if not, you lot may be interested to know that the fine work of a well-known and liked South Coast NSW kneelo and photog is now gracing the cover of Australia's most venerable surf magazine. He also has a bunch of spectacul...

Like Bill above, and many others no doubt, I knew Mark only through this site. His love of surfing shone through in the posts he made here. He will be missed. No-one can say why lives end when they do. All we can do is celebrate the good they leave behind. My deepest sympathy to Elaine and his family

Not sure where he is now, but you can see where he's been ...

Pukas & Tecnalia in their press release wrote:Surfing is still a sport governed by feelings.

Hoist by their own petard, I'd say.

Plenty of good information has been posted in this thread already. I just hope we don't get one of those infamous East Coast swell droughts. Stay in touch with the local crew and you will score if there are waves to be had. A decent guidebook is a good idea but remember that almost any spot can have...

Thanks Steve.

The quantity of waves is less a problem than the vast number of people wanting to ride them.

Been nothing but big low pressure systems sailing across the upper half of Australia all summer. Monsoon. Sea surface temps are very warm. Ideal conditions for cyclones: probably why we have a bunch of them hanging off our coastline right now. Part of me likes the idea of big weather. The rest of me...

The CW piece is fluff, obviously. The whole 'short from long' drama was played out first a long time ago on beaches, reefs and pointbreaks both sides of the Pacific, and a fair bit in Hawaii as well. Funny thing is that during the development of the early ultra-short (fish) boards in San Diego in '6...
