 Bomb the Twist







May has been just pumping down here on NSW South Coast, we seem to be having endless swells and offshore winds , so when a fellow kneelo called in for a visit from sunny Queensland , it was easy to get him into a few good ones…

The Setup

Pumping waves

with Brad being from the land of long right handers ( QLD) he still pulled into a few nice left’s






but the lefts were defiantly the go!

A Sunny Saturday Afternoon




Flat Water Riding with Rafts




The Bommie can be such a fun wave, with a nice steep takeoff giving you plenty of speed to push thru the middle ‘flat section ‘ then on towards the sucky shore dump on the inside reef. Paul and I lucked out with just a handful of boardriders to contend with, then it was just down to us 2 on mats and a one  friendly local mal rider named  ‘Butto’

The Bank

First time trying a hand mounted camera, I went out on a mat initially, then after one wave I came in and swapped for a kneeboard as the waves were cracking and racing down the line.

Apart from looking like I am madly waving my arms around, the hand mount does give you a different view to what its like to surf a kneeboard, rather than a fixed mount on a board or mounted to a helmet can give.

Handy Cam Vision

A beautiful morning and I was the first one in the water, unfortunately I was soon joined by another dozen odd surfers, but there was still plenty to share around and I was happy with the vision I captured.

‘’ I was surprised how well the board went, still plenty of speed and turn quiet well, just did not have the whip that a modern thruster gives you ‘’

After the mornings surf on boards and a quick coffee and bite to eat, it was off to another location away from the crowds , and a chance ride my mat and hand plane.

Hey, Adam

The red board is a cruiser. It will go fast and catches waves unreal, but hard to get in the rail. I need to keep a lot of wt/ pressure on the tail A unique feel and lots of fun More like riding a "Mal" kneeboard Looks like you have been scoring some waves Wayno

My reply….

same as what I find with my one, brilliant to ride on large 3/4 face walls such as Green Island and Learners, but lacks the turning ability that a modern 3-5 finner will give. I have been riding everything of late and enjoy the difference in all of them, but when I want to surf rail to rail with speed I pick up the Drift, when happy to cruise and draw my turns out, its the bonzer, and your right, I call it my Malibu Kneeboard!
