I passed that 35 years of kneeboarding milestone a few years ago.

In that time I've grown euqlly fond of country music (John Cash rules!) and death metal - both anathema in my early rock and ska days. (but psychobilly and punk and still my first loves). Some might class that as a maturation of sorts

I still get up at the crack and surf on the coldest days of the year and proudly say I'm a kneeboarder. I might break my first born's ankles so he/she is forced to kneel.

If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath about the "balanced view" thing.

Should have started years ago

Hi Red,
Our tastes in everything change as we mature. One of my only regrets with kneeboarding is I should have started a lot sooner, if I had my renewed passion for surfing would have started earlier. :o
When there is surf I leave home in the dark, drive 1.5 hours to watch the sun rise as I paddle out. :)
My son scoffed at me when I bought my first kneeboard. After his first session on it he traded his board on a kneeboard and hasn't looked back. Kneeboarding isn't dying, there is spark out there and given time will become a glow.
