This shot has just pushed me over the edge. I've never even imagined that I would contemplate getting a kneeboard or even trying one, but with all the photo's I've seen since I "found" this damm BB, I'm giving it a go. These guys look like there groping the waves. Not to mention the places in the pocket and how deep and lodged they seem to get. Screw the fish, I’m getting the master first.

Anyone in San Diego want to sell me a used kneeboard that would float a 220 pounder?

This BB is getting expensive now. Have two boards on order since I started looking at this BB, a Campell Bonzer, and four fin to take me back to my youth. Now looking to score a kneeboard. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif" alt="" /> Thankgod my wife loves shoes, I'm no way near surpassing those 10 inch, Italian wastes of money that comprises her "quiver."

That's fool's talk. Imagine how much more money you'd have to spend on boards if she wasn't wasting it on shoes!

yo sliced feet and dk, I recently ordered a 5'5 Steve Lis twin keel after paddling out w/ swim fins this past december down in PR on a 5'11 canard quad...kinda too big, but blew my mind, the combo of stand-up and kneeriding on that trip added a new dimension to my fish riding...

are we movin'?
My first twin keel was a John Mel knee board. It's so much fun to take off late and just pull in on the knees. If you come out, then stand up. My friend says I look like I'm surfng on a skimboard though.

Insane photo!. Notice how all the old San Diego kneeboarders always grabbed the rail, stayed real low on the board. No trying to "stand up" on the board with no hands. Of course everyone has different styles...

Cool shot of all your fishes grandpa. It's a kneeboard <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/doah.gif" alt="" /> Caption reads "Kneeboard whiz and full-time dangerman Rex Huffman shows off his quiver of Steve Lis fishes. For him and a hundred others...the only board to ride." - circa 1978
