I lucked out growing up in San Diego in the late 70s and got a Steve Lis fish twinfin kneeboard ...what a dream to ride compared to my early 70s single fin . Steve made a heavier board that tracked way better than my lighter single fin .Duck feet are the way to go on a kneeboard 🤙😎

Mid '70s I had a 5'6" Lis fish that I used for big Blacks, big La Jolla Cove, etc. Had a 4'11" fish for smaller waves. Good times.

Thanks Robbie. I'm still learning about this 'editing game', and when you editing a 20-minute long video every time you go through it it's a full 20 minutes. It does really just take time. I'm dropping a video this week. 6 Minutes. And the original filming done on two cameras with the intention of doing a tight video. Look forward to your thoughts on "Gigs's Garage".

Fun video!thnks Lawrence

How many inches are the front fins up from the tail?

I been surfing 45 years but my hips don't let me get up anymore until I get double hip replacement. In the mean time I'm getting into kneeboarding. My question - are swim fins necessary? When do you use them? Seems I could paddle into waves without fins. Do they help keep you stable while riding?

The sport is split into two very distinct opposition groups. On the plus side it does give you a burst of energy to get onto the waves. For me, the times you break a leash it's a easy swim in. On those long paddle outs, or paddles back to the point against a rip you're going to be glad you've got fins on. So my suggestion is use them, and only if for some reason you experience difficulty or a problem then try without.

change to a flat sided rear fin to counteract the problem. increase size of the rear fin also , shrink the size of the front fin

Nobody's ever made a bonzer kneeboard! Mike Eaton with plastic flexible fins channels!!!!

Certainly there have been many bonzer kneeboards made. A Campbell Brother Kneeboard is in Bobby's Surfboard collection. See my video on this channel.
