Some crazy tricks here, as well as the ability to absorb incredible crunching impact to the back and knees.
I'd love to see these guys give wave riding on kneeboards a try, or imagine them towing in on outer reef waves somewhere! They're really used to the catching air and bouncing around!!
Course it takes a long, long time to build the wave knowledge in huge waves to know how to surf them right...

I'm new to the forum.
Anyway, I was kinda thinking about the tow surfing-kneelo style thing. Do you have any footage/pics? I'd love to see that.

I think we ought to pool our money for some type of exchange: we'll send the Simpson brothers to some Florida river for a month and they'll send us a couple river dudes to try their stuff at Aussie Pipe (or some suitable ramp).
Cool stuff.
