Kneeboard Surfing USA Community Forum

We live in hope.

Hi Marcus, Do you have any photos on somewhere else other than Facebook? What's the name of the thread you referred to about the shaping of the board? Thanks. I had a local shaper make me a PU prone board which you can check out here.... Scroll down until you get to "Custom creation, The turtle...

Even the poor old Sunshine coast has been great.

love all your latest carbon fibre boards AB.

Update: Captain's log April 28th, 2010. The stealth fighter has landed. Yes fans of speed, manouvreability and as an added bonus; durability I am now the proud owner of an Al Bruce (Analbirth) designed, Dave Parkes shaped EPS and carbon fibre quad fin fish. For those who've never ridden a board made...

Brings back some memories. Surfed there in Autumn of 1990 and got quite a few clean punchy sessions. Still remember how cold the water felt to me after coming from Qld. Fun climbing down the "Ho Chi Minh" trail and seeing lots of dolphins in the line up. Luckily didn't encounter any negati...

Just about to get my first kneeboard again after a long time surfing stand up surfboards (or footboards as I've seen them called) and suprised that the use of epoxy hasn't seemed to have gained the acceptance like it has in stand up surfing circles. The fact that kneeboarding is such a niche in the ...

If you're after an alternative to FCS then have a look at these. http://www.shapers.com.au/category128_1.htm I've used the FCS LB1 thruster fins which are composite core in some pretty decent sized waves and they are still in one piece. So maybe the Shapers composite construction which I put the lin...

I suprised myself by the weight of the HB's. I'll have to have another look though. Regarding the paddling of the 6'er I had read comments from the Sunny coast crew who tried them that at least one of them preferred the 6'2" they make. I was given the 6'er as it is the owner of Out the Back's p...

Didn't take Brian up on the offer of riding one of his boards yet. The spoons I can go and take photos of. Probably need to email them to someone to post on here as I'm pretty computer challenged. Did take a 6' Out the back board out yesterday at Maroochydore (Sharks actually) though. Classic: every...

Thanks for the offer of trying some of your boards Kev. Went into Inside Edge (surf shop) at Maroochydore yesterday to see if Brian had some Hot Buttered Octafins after reading about them on here. Sure enough he has them and even offered to let me have a kneeboard stashed in the rafters of his shop ...

After 30 years of riding footboards I'm about to come back to riding a kneeboard. Been riding shortboards, fish, eggs, longboards and wanted to get back to my roots. Just been talking to David Parkes about a 2nd hand board which should suit me and hopefully next week I'll be on it. Has to have some ...
