Hi everyone I'am new to this site . I have been playing in the ocean since I was 9 body surfing / rafting / bellyboarding [ yes thats what we called it in the 60s and they were plywood ] and then stand up surfing. Well as I'am now 58 and all broken down and find it hard to get to my feet these days I have been bodyboarding but would like to try kneeboarding. I would like to find a cheap board to start off any ideas I'am 5' 11'' and 225 lbs I would like to be able to catch more waves and just cruise. thanks for your time D

Welcome,
Many of us have several boards.I suggest you try a couple before you buy anything, even used. There's a crew in HB and some in O-Side.. Email me if you come up to HB, and I'll be glad to let you have a go on one of my boards. I'm a weekend warrior but there's a few guys out here most days.

Well I would just like to thank googlefog [ John ] for his very generous gift of a great kneeboard. Looks like theres a bigger learning curve than I thought of course. I will be out there trying to get this down . thanks again John

Do you surf the Oceanside area? There are a good number of Kneeboarders that frequent the Harbor and Pier.

I would just like to take this time to thank googlefog [ john ] for the crazy gift of what seems to be a almost new board. I have taken it out only once so far and have to say there is more to it than thought PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE . I would also like to thank Casey for putting on the new cove pad today can't wait to go out and try it. I just like to say so far all the kneelos I have met have been very cool guys.

Look up 'cool' in any dictionary - there's a picture of a kneelo cruising a dirty grinding tube...

Just went out at sanofre only the second time I have used my kneeboard. I caught about 6 waves in my hour and a half session way more than I have in years on my surfboard. I gotta say I'am stoked can't wait to go out again I love it.
