Grew up kneeboarding 41 now and still do it pretty much every time we take the boat out. I just do wake to wake jumps and surface spins. We have battles trying to knock each other off. Been close to a aerial 360 but not there yet. i think its one ofthe best things to start the kids out on. I got my daughter up at 5yrs old. she learned to wakeboard @9 She is 10 now but she still likes the kneeboard. I think its a great sport and love watching guys go off and do some of the big tricks.I ride the hydroslide kaos. I love this board its has HUGE pop and the softest landings I have ever had on a kneeboard.I wish it came with a double strap because Of my size I do stress the single. So I will put a double on it when the stock one wears out.
Long Live The Low Rider!!

That fold down Bimini that store boards on top at 1:10 in the video link below is pretty awesome. Is that custom or a Supra thing?

It is the Z5 cargo bikini. It is a Supra thing but, I believe you can get them after market. They are super cool and Tige really should come up with their own IMO.

remember my first kneeboard was an obrien bullfrog (i think) and it didn have any fins and a pointed nose.

I had the same board and found out my mother currenty sold it to a neighbor kid for a dollar. Said he wanted to buy it so his Dad would pull him behind their fishing boat. Only place I would rather have the board than on my wall as a memory would be in his hands, hope he enjoys it as much as I did!

I need to find a board to demo. I would like to give it a shot this year. What speed and length of rope do you use?

[Pro-Fab]

I ride at 20 mph and 65-75 feet. When learning to clear the wake ride at ~18and 55'

Would this be a very good board or am I being too cheap?

Honestly any board is better than no board at all. However, I quickly out grew the compression molded Hydroslide (plastic) in about 1 season. I founda factory blemished O'Brien lowrider on ebay for $125 shipped. The Obrien Lowrider is probably the best all around board that anyone can use. It doesnt have a hook for the handle, but with a little practice you will be boarding in no time. O'Brien is really good with their warranty and customer service too. I broke the Lowrider from stuffing the nose on a back roll, they had me send them a few pictures and they sent me a new board right away. I also called because mine didnt have a double locking strap and they sent out a double locking strap right away too.

HO has probably the toughest kneeboards on the market. I have landed in the flats on my Joker many times from 10' + many times and have never had a problem with it. But i am sure their customer service is paralelled to O'Brien's.

I would say start with what ever you want. but to get the most bang for your buck I would get a compression molded board (fiberglass).
