KNEEBOARDING ???...???
But tell me why it is that everybody is so good-kneeboarding now. In the sixties, there were the really good-kneeboarders and the all the rest who weren't. Today, everybody is at least average. How did it happen? Is it because there's no wars to kill the kneeboarders?

I think this site exposes more riders..(we see that other dodo birds do exist) mahalo to Slats for the most pics of kber's I ever seen.
Better boards (props to the skilled boys)
Better knowledge of health = more old kbers (who got better just by surfing more)
The "get rad" factor moves the bar higher.
People are getting a clue about the fun in this type of riding waves.
Finally, we are "heros" in our own minds

if you averaged things out.....the number of kneeboarders who dominate their local spot in relation to the number of kneeboarders in relation to all forms of waveriding you will easily find we completely dominate and the vast number of kooks will be riding standup or on a boogie board. there are easily way more kook standups who are nothing more than mooring buoys in the water today than the total number of kneeboarders that have existed period. put that in your pipe and smoke it brah!
since no one else wants to stir your pot and i'm bored why on God's green earth did you choose Andy Warhol as a moniker? why would being a ghostly white little art snob be somehow viewed as cool on a site filled with ornery old farts who ride bizarre contraptions in a manner which regularly incites scorn from the vast herd of clones who wanna be AI or Kelly.

I think that there are at least average kneeboarders because we've been at for so long, and our equipment just keeps on improving. We just get better kbing more and more. Our kneeboard equipment is mostly suited to us now, instead of having to settled for boards straight off the rack in your surfshop._________Mark.

i never truly realized how cool homogeneity could be until Mr. Welch pointed it out. things like homogenized milk are certainly cool (especially refrigerated!) so i reckon everything else must be cool if we boil everything living out of it. how do we as kneeboarders achieve true homogeneity? certainly a question worth pondering.
in other news my worst nightmare came true yesterday. a blue bottle tenticle went down my surfshorts and wrapped around my best friend. who knew such pain could exist. after i scrubbed the remaining bits off with sand i literally curled up into the fetal position and quietly cried.
there is definitely a downside to all the nerve endings down there!

What I would give to see mr. rock cry. I guess you had to use sand, it's pretty tricky trying to piss on your pisser.

I see more standup surfers riding kneeboards (Fish's) than i do kneelo's riding long boards
why is kelly always dropping to his knees to get a tight barrell? do you see kneelo's standing up to touch the cieling of a big barrell?
