This video inspired me to try kneeboarding. I have now made my own board, quad plus trailer. Love it. I get asked, why kneeboard? Watch this video i say....
Such beautiful photography in beautiful waves, Rob, and the guys are surfing the barrel so skillfully. Fun to see the closeup work to see tube stance, stalling technique, bottom and tops turns. You camera equipment is top notch. The whole thingJust beautiful...
Filthy toob pigs good to see good to see mark still got the silky style and chayno well just the usual shredding. Great little vid slats hope your well mate
Hi Jez, Most kneeboards are wider, shorter and have more curve in the outline than standup boards. There are a few exceptions with some riders preferring longer more straight-railed boards, used mainly in larger waves. Overall there is quite a rage of kneeboard shapes out there.
Kneeboarders are early in the barrel, more torque than stand-ups, paddle like a dream, side to side weight distribution as opposed to standup front and back distribution means less drag more speed. It feels great. I Kneeboarded for 20 years,. Have been a standup for 17 years. Am now doing both depending on conditions. Waveriding is an art in all its forms.
I didn't know it was a competition. I love it all, they all have their place in putting a smile on someone's face. If all you get out of surfing is an opinion about one being better than another well you have a different attitude to riding this free energy than me. But that's ok. Just enjoy what can be so easily taken away from you while you can Matt.
"Surpassed" ??? - we've never, ever seen a Body Boarder attain anywhere near the performance levels of a kneeboard. A kneeboard is a bonafide surfboard, in fact they are the forerunner of the modern shortboard. They are the og performance platform pre-dating the post modern era in surfing and crucial to it's development....Ask Greenough... George is old now, sore knees. To each their own regardless, but thank the universe we're all different. You are narrow minded indeed. Walk around my world however, especially Maroubra, Ballina, in fact every part of the Australian coast, slabs all over the place here, and you're a laughing stock. What you comment on is fair enough, yet grossly underrated and delusional yet valid in your mind. We are all on a different trajectory however, so I accept your opinion, as unbalanced, uniformed & downright uneducated as it is. One life, we all live it as we must. I pity you. What are you missing watching this video... ??? "The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun" - but that is lost on you, isn't it, you don't have a clue. Have fun. That much is valid and we take nothing away from your personal yet "somewhat unimaginative" view expressed here. Regards from Lottie, Desiree, Gina and dad of course, here in paradise at Tuckombil via Alstonville and East Ballina 800km north of Sydney ex Maroubra. MATE 😉 🤙

I get asked, why kneeboard?
Watch this video i say....
Fantastic! Beautiful surfing. After kneeboarding for decades I too discovered that flippers are a drag! I feel much free'er without them.
mine dont drag ...jus' sayin' to each their own...imo.
Cracking footage and excellent surfing. Knee boarding rocks on a number of levels
great filming
I kneeboarded when i was younger. It was a lot of fun.
Mesmerising. The waves look like they have been created by a computer. Perfect.

A sneaky dig? @4:00
Great surfing and video capture but imho overdone with the slo-mo. Maybe mix it up a bit?
All good mate, plenty of the other vids are at normal speed. This was done purely for the beauty of slow motion.
.....nice waves Brother...............where is this?....
Amazing , are knee boards much different in outline

@@jervisbay2540they're not their. Muppet.
Body boarders surpassed knee boarding many years ago, even Greenough realized it, he's back on rafts. Nice waves though.

It's just an observation.
