Back in the day that's all I did but know I cringe at the thought of how my knees will feel after.

My knees never really bother me its my calves that hurt after a while or my toes start to cramp up.

I ride the kneeboard every time out. My 8yr old daughter rides it also.I do wake to wake jumps and surface 360's.I have been trying a wraped jump 360 but have not landed it yet.I suck so bad at wakeboarding i got to have something to fall back on.I take my baughters freinds out and teach them for the first time.Its easy to teach and everyone can do it wich makes it fun for the kids.

here is a video of my crashes last year on a 91 celbrity with a pretty small wake. I am a whole new beast on the Tige. a lot more consistant and ALOT more air. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzlhflUoSYQ

Good stuff right there. You almost want to make me try the back flip.You make it look pretty easy.Because like you said thats a small wake and even my big butt gets higher than that on the tige wake so i should be able to do it. But the crashes and not knowing kinda scare me.Is it all about just throwing all your weight back once you pop?

We break out the low rider every trip.

kko you should try the back roll. I was throwing back rolls my third trip kneeboarding. The big things to know are:
Cut out like you are just trying to clear the wake
cut in hard like you are a mad man
keep your back straight as you hit the wake
WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE IN THE AIR to throw your head in the direction you want to rotate.
pull the handle to your hips
keep your head up as you come around
and keep your hands low and close when you land (this will keep the boat from pulling you out of the board or over forewards as you land and bounce)

Man thats good stuff right there. the layout at about 1:40 and slowmo @ 1:50 is great you can see the top of the board perfect.That takes a set right there for sure.Keep it up!

[Pro-Fab]

The layout is only hard to sack up and do it. It feels like you are not going to make it back but you keep pulling and you will land it.

Kneeboarding

I'm 51 and love kneeboarding and frequently get 1-3 runs per weekend when thw water is flat. Small wake jumps and 360's are the fun part. Both my wife and 8 yr old also join the fun.

Last Saturday a buddy of mine came out. Old guy like me, but in his "youth" he used to kneeboard all the time. He tried a few 360's and then gave the flip a try. He actually "landed" it twice but couldn't hang on either time. Cool pics taken by my son.
