Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

So glad Hart has released his grip design. I was fortunate to receive a prototype set on my flashpoint. I asked bruce to indicate where he thought the board should be ridden, expecting small marks or maybe a diagram. I received a beautiful piece of design instead. The unique thing about North East U...

I use force fin pros every winter. the pro is a stiffer blade. they take some getting used to, and the thrust is more about sustained speed than acceleration. I use them to motor about, hold against currents ect. they're not good for sprinting. paddling out I use my arms to sprint under oncoming set...

actually the Bug is perfect, and tweaked for performance on dirt and sand moguls you wouldn't dream of taking a Ferrari on

reveals an interest in teeth rattling speed where gravity and uncertanty is part of the course

actually "Innermost" has very little spoon footage, and what's on there isn't impressive by todays standards. what there is a lot of is inside barrel footage, revolutionary for its day, and I'm mindful that THAT footage was shot riding said spoon. man'o don't let the winter pictures fool y...

wasn't the plan you expressed to leave your spoon in Cali? Why? east coast waves inadequate? there's an upwelling of interest in kneeriding cos of another fella - Lis I've already convinced two fish phanatics to TRY kneeling Velo = flippers BIG flippers from what I read there's already a split on th...

HW, I used one waaaay back in the day on a Bing bonzer I rode. I have no idea what happened to it or who made it. figured you'd pick up on the reference to flight and Newton. my own theory is surfboards (foam n glass) transitioned (evolved) from "hull" shapes to "wing" shapes. sk...

good discussion on swaylocks:

but headwax i do get it, the assertion I just don't get the method of proof and because so many simultaneous events are occuring assigning causality is problematic and I've heard "boost" arguments here regarding hi aspect flex fins as well only then it was spring now sails and wings and on...

beeline, you once called my experimenting with little trailers on Blast quad 'popsicle' fins. I always liked that name. dorje, I'm truly a grom, only been kneeing 4 years. I consider 35 years riding standup part of my path to enlightenment. Coming from a thruster environment to kneeboarding, quads s...

viv la differance

remember the popsicles beeline?

is it cavitation or ventilation? surfboards work in the boundary layer of air and water and skegs don't move THAT fast (think impeller on centrifugal pump). try to suck 2000gpm out of a 1000gpm hydrant and you'll HEAR cavitation at work. I've heard skegs sing but not like that. with the multitude of...

its good you don't ride the A train

to quote a local philosopher

"Give me you wallet mutha f***er"

and obliging I lost my skegs

but my turn was quick

and my speed fantastic

for being on foot

UNDENIABLE TRUTH # 1 a surfboard leaves its mark on the wave UNDENIABLE TRUTH # 2 the wave dies on the shore THEREFORE all surfers are GUILTY!! R.I.P. Johnny Cochran, we could use a creative defense here but the Honorable Red is presiding and Headwax leads the defense in the trial of Hart, McCray an...

well a lot of standups ride fish flat, for sure maybe has something to do with the width of the board and there are a lot of average surfers struggling on pro shapes, but that's a marketing and image problem for them to solve and its real nice to have such rotational range so you can dance your boar...

the water 'reflected' off the leading fins straight edge (inside- high pressure area) contributes/exagerates the low pressure area on the trailing fins curved surface (outside contour) leading to a faster turn ... but this doesn't take into account the fact that moving through stationary water is d...
