Kneel Boards

Its been awhile since I have jumped back onto a standard kneeboard with 3 fins , and with the last 2 weeks of non stop swell and offshore winds , it has given me the opportunity to  ‘mix & match’ my surf toys between the feel of frictionless slide and the speed that a surf mat can give , compared to the power of driving the board with my knees and feet, letting the board pivot off the rear fins. Each has a different feel, but both have the same end result….fun.






I even broke out my hand plane for a session ,with nothing to float me bar  the buoyancy of my own body and a good pair of duck feet flippers to kick into the small waves.

Cherry Pop

What a cracker of a sunrise we had the other morning, in fact every morning has been gold….with the cool brisk offshore winds that our winter has brought , the early morning sky's have been so clean and colorful.

The next day

The swell had dropped slightly, but there was still enough swell to share some waves with good friend Paul ‘Oily’ Newman…and  a few dolphins as well.





Paul shot some video from the front of his board

Wee….my conclusion?

Well I don't eat peanut butter sandwiches every day for lunch , so like food its fun to have a bit variety ,  mixing the slide with some drive!
