Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

Stunning day today a couple hundred miles north of SF. I chose a low tide spot and waited for the afternoon go out. Traded roping head high + hollow waves with another kneelo for 30 minutes and we must have made it look too fun... we were joined by 10 others. Great waves, super sunny, glassy 'til da...

Willy, Same here in SF. I hit it at 5:30 - 7:30 AM. With the low tide being a minus no one wanted to put up with the current. Left me solo on a peak for a couple early morning hours. Granted there were 4 people who were out in total. Bob and I are on it tomorrow... smaller but should be fun... it is...

I'll sleep better tonight.

I saw the action yesterday and alterted SFK that we should find a peak down the beach 1/10th the crowd. It wasn't hard to do. Today I dawn patrolled the photo spot and had 30 minutes of the glory to myself. Air 39, water 50, 12 waves before the rest of the world wakes up... PRICELESS (sorry for the ...

Mike,

No secret on the location... it's our local beach break. The hour paddle was comprised of 15 to get outside and 45 keeping on the bar and chasing waves.

Makes me appreciate points and reefs that's for sure!

Good wrap-up by SFK. Long paddle out back to a semi-frequent peak only to have things go to !@#$# by the time we reached our destination. Solid hour of paddling at 90%. This year has been frustrating to say the least. The times I DO paddle out it seems a good dose of dramamine is in order - wobbly s...

Yes, it's true, David shaped a few boards while here and those you spotted in the rack are probably Tom Fillio's!

Merry Christmas to all!

Cheers,

So you want a history lesson or something about a cutback? Facts: Caught my first wave at the HB Cliffs (The Gap) July 4th 1976 - US Bicentennial. I live in Sausalito with my wife Bonnie and our 2 year old daughter Lana. I've been surfing Ocean Beach as my local for 14 years now and each Fall when i...

Grom Fund: With great ideas come complexity. Yes, we have a fundraising effort to assist in getting a grom(s) over to the Phillip Island Comp this year. This is the goal. The fact is we may not meet the goal and will therefore use the funds for other grom related expenses in the future. There is a l...

Just tell her is was going off, and hand her your Credit Card... A. Played that card once and got away with it B. She's not a shopper C. I'm a lucky man... Surf trips are cheap compared to credit card debt! D. San Francisco is due for the first NW swell of the year on Tuesday and Wednesday so I'll ...

My window for surfing will be tight... I'm at the mercy of my wife as we came down to spend time with the Robertsons and their newborn.

Of course if someone can promise me double overhead surf I'm sure the wives will understand...

Cheers,

Don

Count me in for a dawn patrol Sat, Sun and hopefully Monday somewhere in HB / Newp.

Kudos to Willy for putting this event together. Jack, Scott MacDonald, Willy Kelly, Scott Wessling and I got some of the fading windswell on Saturday. Friday served up bigger surf but Wessling and I only got the hall pass for Saturday. We intended to check back after lunch for a second session but t...
