paul .

rods correct. ive had three knee surgeries on my left knee and the use of fins has strengthened it more than any other fitness program. every case is different.

bob, is right and correct on everything above.

i walk out to my spot if the waves are breaking in shallow enough water, then just hop into waves. or you need one those ultra-super-duper-megaskiff-platters. get off those lame ass kneeboards!

i'm 6'5 250 and surf s.d. county. i've tried up to 7' alaia style. it was fun, just a down the line fun though. i've settled on boards between 4'-5' foam/glass or plywood. pes78. you are welcome to try any of my boards i got about 20 left.

thats crazy sh1t!

wow. and you you so normal!

i meet with my doctor in a couple of weeks. the above was in the "info pile" the hospital cardiologist gave me. i'd rather live than have another cigar and beer but, if i can do both, the latter in moderation, itd be great.

6'5" played basketball, baseball competitively until i was 40 and surfed my whole life. 80% of tall athletic folks will get it. SO, I cant change that I'm tall. no more basketball, no more baseball. no more beer, no more cigars, no more chocolate, no coffee, no tea, no sugar, no carbs, no stres...

kusher, yeah...errr thanks. you can talk about anything you want here. but, if you have kneeboard riding/building experience that would be even more helpful. ive made a couple of parabolic's, esthetically trippy, but no worky. too slow, maybe cuz waves and as static as mountains and the prone boards...

as to not mess up a conversation, errrrrr thread, "'i'm looking for a ride experience more similar to kneeboarding than body surfing. Back to the drawing board..." nomas, thats exactly why im on the journey im on. at least it started that way, 40years as a kneeboarder. the bellyboards i ha...

yeah O.G. is right. slight and shallow concaves are a beautiful esthetic but dont really work as advertised in a plywood board. i have used them and they actually add a controlled longitudinal flex to the board, the type of flex that actually works when one pulls up on the outside rail while in a bo...

"The ancient Hawaiians used convex bottoms instead of concave bottoms. Something to consider." aaaaaaand now we're back to displacement hulls.
