Been awhile since I posted up and finally got out from behind the camera. Been shootin tons of surf pix here in IB and finally got some pix of me kneeboarding!!!! Been 30 years since I got pix of me in the water. My fiancee is learning the tricks of the camera and for her first shoot I think she did well!
looks great, Jeff...just the way I remember it. Should be a good Fall season down there. I bet the water got cold pretty quick?
"So if you want to kneeboard, find the hollowest waves you can, ride as short of a board as possible and go fast and deep. If you want to slip and slide, twist and jerk, go for air then stand up and do it. Let’s keep kneeboarding sacred."

Thanks brother! Yeah water has been a bit chilly as of late. Hoping it will go off in the morning and hope to get a good session and some more pix! I will post up tomorrow afternoon and let ya know what happens!
Today was fun surfin the inside shorebreak. It was pretty gnarly at times and I paid my dues as well! Here are a couple pix from this mornings session. There was a terrible haze so these photos are not really clear but you will get the feel for what was happening. Headed back out in the morning and gonna try it again. Hopin for sunny skies as well.

Jeff, I used to kneeboard Boca Rio, Sloughs, and all over IB from '89-'96, when I owned a house a couple of blocks from the water. I eventually sold it to move back to La Jolla. I may have surfed with you Real fun place!
Thanks guys, yeah the Bocs and the Inside SB are the best spots for kneeboarding for sure!! Any of ya wanna come down and hookup for a session give me a shout. Hopefully there will be waves, and my camera partner will get some good kneelo shots!
Mark, I was outta IB during that timeframe on a long term vacation with the Marine Corps...... You know the place, give me a shout if your headed down this way!!
Thanks again, gonna check it in the am. If its worthy and we get some pix I will post.
Its been on and off down here lately with some good and not so good days. Water has been really warm with a ton of kelp in the water. Cold water all summer and now that October is here it gets warm WTF? Anyhow I went out a few times and the fiancee caught this lil sequence with the 50D and I made a lil animated gif.
Tok a good shot to the head a couple days later when I was using my GoPro, thank god for helmets! Ended up with a huge pressure dent in the deck and torn the glass along the stringer for about 6 inches. Suffrered a concussion according to ER doc. Been having headaches and lil pukie in the stomach. He advised four weeks outta the water but that aint gonna happen. Shootin pix at the local annual Dempsey Holder Surf Contest tomorrow and then I am back in the water monday. Hope everyome is getting some waves. Take care my Kneelo Bros!
