Australia Day meets Kneeboard Week… Forgotten performance pushers of the surfing world, kneeboarders have long been edged to the outskirts of surf culture. In isolation they’ve been blowing up for years despite snickers and jeers. In this episode of InnerViews we catch up with the modern heart of the kneeboard movement in the lonely industrial town of Wollongong as a steadfast few quietly kneel their way through futuristic lines…

   When I saw the first kneeboarder in 1971, I knew I had to do it. When I saw how hard and quik the BR crew were turning,tube riding,and those under the lip late drop take offs.Oh and rrround house cutbacks. That’s when I really thought,”that’s it,I gott’a do that” I’ve been going ever sence. I frek’in love this stuff……….THANX “H”

    Having Steen and Nov in the video is killer! the only one missing is Farrer to make up the triumvirate of kneeboarding!
