Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

I like the direction you're heading here with smaller fins, especially the trailing fins. I have been experimenting with using the smallest fins possible that still provide decent drive, and I'm loving the way the kneeboard releases better off the top of the wave (plus it keeps more open other fun t...

Thanks for giving us your perspective, Brad. Hope you're healing up from the pneumonia!

The following three Americans are all in the finals for their respective age divisions:

• Sam Coyne

• Ed Quinn

• Brad Colwell

Way to go, team USA!

Thanks for this update, Joe, and congrats on winning your opening round! Keep the info coming, please. I'm enjoying the compusurf site and being able to see the scorelines for every heat as they are being updated.

Check in with Joe Taylor on this site. He's in your area, is getting his own boards made, and he know a lot of your options with different shapers in SoCal.

Thanks, Craig. See my PM to you.

Really nice shape, Barry. Looks like it's shaped to really turn well. Tell me about the idea in the setting of the quads. Usually the space between the back and the front is less, to make them turn more as a unit, is my understanding. Yours are much further apart than I see as "typical." Y...

Max is such a barrel hound! Thanks for the clip.

I'm certainly interested in doing these again. I've asked some of the steering committee for KSUSA to consider using this sort of event with an expanded format to include kneelos from the NSSA SoCal circuit. Should have some more info about this possibility soon...

Looks like Chayne Simpson and a few friends are coming out with an amazing video, premiering in Australia on August 30th. When/how can the rest of us see it?!!

Oh, shoot!!

Well, when are you coming back for the infamous "Parent's Day"?

I bought a nice Blast from a buddy in Torrance, now trying to get it up to my area. You're welcome to give it a surf along the way (a nice 6'3" gun!). Actually, if you can just get it to Santa Barbara, my offspring can collect it there and get it up to me later. Or I have some buddies up by San...

What a great video! So fun to watch real kneelo barrel riding in real waves--so great you had a camera on the beach for that day. Max and Eric with some real keggers!

Love the camera angle and clarity. Rad board, Bob!

Typically, newer kneelos sit in the middle of the board (up a bit too far), which is not too much of a problem in bottom turning and the trim is fine, but then the board hangs up on the top turns because the weight is not far enough to the rear to really lift and pivot the nose for the snap. If you ...
