Happy 10th Birthday KSUSA

[joe]

Ten years ago today, Don Harris created the KSUSA web site to promote the sport of kneeboarding and bring kneeboard surfers together. Today there are over 2000 registered users from around the world who have contributed more than 58000 posts and over 32000 photos. KSUSA is the international forum for kneeboard surfers from around the world, fueled by user driven content.

Thanks to Don Harris for his vision, and thanks to all of you for continuing to share the stoke.

This is the earliest post I could find on the forum. It shows the stoke and camaraderie that this forum was created to share.

Congrats Don and the crew. I love looking through the old posts and images. I encourage KSUSA members to post here ahead of TFB (some of us never look at that site).

Thanks a lot it is a great resource.

Wow, over 32,000 photos! Remember the days when it was months, or maybe more than a year, between seeing any kneelo photo if you didn't have it taken yourself?

Happy Birthday

Well done chaps for keeping it all going...a labour of love for sure

Congrats to Don and everyone who has helped make KSUSA what it is today. I want to also thank Bob Welch and Eric Osland for all their work to flame the kneeboarding fires when they seemed to be only embers. I like many I've met, thought I was the last kneelo. Now we have a huge tribe and so much more, ie: design discussion, travelogs, used board availability, and most of all a bunch of folks who all love riding waves in the correct stance.

Group hugs over, now get out of the way I see a left outside,

Thank you

The stoke and fire I get from this site on a daily basis is irreplaceable. I have no idea why kneelos are such great photographers, but the level of photo quality is heads above most other sites. Congrats and please keep it up!

Happy birthday KSUSA. 10 years and still going strong well done and thanks to all involved behind the scenes.

Without doubt I am a much better surfer because of this site and its connections. Surfing takes surfing but it also takes some thinking and the threads provided the food for those thoughts. Photos too!

Good wishes to all involved

Stoked for KSUSA!
Thanks Joe for this thread. I reconnected with friends from the olden days because of KSUSA and now have new kneeboard friends that are spread all over the world as well as throughout California. For me, it's all about the friends and surfing and hangin together. I'll always be the one to sit on the shoulder to get a closer look at your barrel or roundhouse and love getting sprayed by your wake. And when we're back outside I'll give you the rundown on how cool that wave was, or how deep you were, or how rad that slash was.
Also stoked for the pics, videos, vast amount of information/tips/wisdom, and cool stories that fill this site.
Thanks Don
