Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

I'm brand new to the sport (after many years of stand up surfing) here in Santa Monica. After getting size advice from Ron, I am having a blast with my 5'7" Romanosky. I wanted to ask the socal kneelos, any recommendations for spots and tides that tend to work well?

Personally, I've never differentiated stand-up spots from kneeboard spots. Locally, I always liked Topanga. If you care to brave the boarder, Baja Malibu in Rosarito Beach, Mexico is a great spot for spitting barrels.

County line and Leo Carillo are good spot for kneeboarder as for myself you can find me at County Line..Welcome to our world!!!

There are always a good amount of kneeboarders just south of HB pier on the weekends......WELCOME!!!!
