what a shame, poor conditions for kneeboarding.......that place is on fire with good swell and ight tide
@kirkdunn1379 Ай бұрын
kneeboarding needs a hollow wave, they just cant generate leverage/speed on flat faced waves to make it exciting enough.....have done both kneeboards and stand up for years

Been kneeboarding since 1977 here in Santa Cruz county CA. Who shapes kneeboards? John Mel. Until KSUSA rolled along.

Hey Scotty, who in the Bay Area / Santa Cruz is still making kneeboards? Would like to put an order in...

The surfers with legs were so surfed out from the non-stop waves at Jeffreys Bay the last 6 weeks that they sat on the beach with their beers and watched

@kneeboardtorque5971 6 ай бұрын
As I said elsewhere, Tom gets particularly strong when the waves become a little wild, a little woolly, a little big, a little broken. What's fantastic with this is event is we got the who's who of the big names coming to Jeffreys Bay. Any heat with one of the top 10 names in it is going to be exciting. We are in for a hell of a ride.

Sideways Tom! So rad that you won that bru. What Gigs and all other kneeboarders perhaps don’t know is that Gary Kingma is the most talented kneeboarder that ever existed . Obviously he went in other directions , but believe me he was a sight to behold at kalk bay and I’m sure anywhere he ever paddled out. George Greenough pioneered. Gary Kingma was the master. But where’s Bobcat ? Because he also has Mojo on par with the gravitas of Gary in proper waves. Plus no one can forget the Playground parties back in the day. You holding the torch now bru.

Thanks for the kind words. I think the job of these interviews is to introduce the world to the characters in our sport. My hope is that when you finished watching the video that you feel you know the man (or woman) behind the action photographs and the trophies. Hence the title, Kneeboard Torque.
