Keep it Kneel - my fundraiser for KSUSA

Hola kneemigos,

I've opened up a store on Cafepress.com to raise some money for KSUSA and the "send a grom to PI" fund.

The store sells shirts, hats, and some other products featuring a few designs I've made that were inspired by kneeboarding and the community here on this website.

Also, a very big THANK YOU to smells and slats for donating their own work which is featured in the store.

I love kneeboarding and I love the camaraderie that we have as a microcosm of the surfing world. My hope is that we can embrace our differences, debate and discuss with open minds, respect each other as fellow half-men, and just keep it kneel, without the drama.

Here is a link to the store, all products are marked up a few dollars from the base price and all profits are sent directly to KSUSA. All products can also be shipped internationally.

cool stuff!!!

I especially like the fact that only a very small majority of the surfing populace will understand the context of the message(s).

Will there be a fluorescent yellow thong ala Borat with skull and finbones available in the future?

Hey fooj
I should keep this quiet, but as I can see you are broadening your horizons, my tip on thongs is to go second hand. I think you'll find it very rewarding.

Rick, nice effort I'll be placing an order shortly.

i'm glad eveyone is digging the products.

unfortunately, the stickers offered through the website would be small and not clear.

i would love to make some window decals but it would require some money up front to have them made by a real sticker shop.

if anyone wants to do it i will give you the hi-res image to do so.

keep it kneel!
