    ^^hardly. bodyboarding is lame no matter how you look at it. but if you like on-rail power surfing, you have kneeboarding to thank.

    i will agree that the “airs” look kind of ghey. but the cripples really do score lots & lots o’ tube time.

    anyone that says someone should surf the way they surf or “i dont get it!” is a fricking elitist, the i wannabe like everyone else bullshit is juvenile, lemigish and downright close minded and lame. surf what you want, how you want and where you want but a little respect for others goes a long ways. the guys usually saying shit to kneeboarder, matters, bodyboards, paipos etc is because one, they cant surf as well as said individual, two, cant paddle as well, 3 dont have the wave knowledge to compete, 4 have no sense of history (your piece of shit thruster started out as a kneeboard you dipshits) 5 respectless, 6 eletist etc etc etc. thanks for posting the movie if not to only show us the bigotry and pettiness that still exists in our small world of fun in the sun and water! after all, it is supposed to be fun! turds

      What do you mean “…as kings we”…et al haole boy?…you mean kings as in The Ali’i Nui of Hawai’i Nei, correct? That would be my people…only an elitist haole boy would come up with phrases like “Libtard” and suggest going to the Huffington Post (like that’s supposed to be as insult), not to mention the blatant cultural appropriation of the Kanka Owi’i (my people)…so let me re-phrase that…what do you mean “Kings” right wing conservative cultural appropriating colonialist haole boy? Your haole moniker, “Kook”, well that’s all you…Kook. Oh yeah, fyi rightwing fuktard, Papa Pae po’o Kioe Nalu (“Ride a wave head first”) Body Surfing Surfboard (“Paipo Nui” for short) was one of the many different types of surfboards ridden by both Ali’i Nui and Commoners in old Hawai’i…the Kanaka Owi’i…you haole boys were still up in the trees scratching your pits and eating your food raw and uncooked during the time we were surfing…anyway, shut up, go surf, or just go home. ‘Nuff said.

    cool

    that board looked more like Slater’s tri than Lis’ twin to me.

    surfer looks like he’s x-ing over from shortboards…look closely at .42 mark I see booties not fins on his feet….you?

    I wasn’t that psyched on Troy’s arm movements a lot, but he’s rippin no doubt!

    Given the fact stand-ups have a blind spot on their back hand you have to ask why stand up?

    Luckily I don’t give a fuck what anyone rides and if you do you are clearly a twat and need to get your head out of your arse to realise there is far more to worry about in life other than what someone rides.

    Bunch of Quikabong fuck-wits.

    Oso, you are pretty observant. His board is probably closer design to modern thrusters than Lis fish. A lot (but not all) of Australian kneeboarders don’t wear swim fins, and ride longer/wider thruster or thruster-like designs with the fin placement way up off the tail. Hell some guys here are giving that style of riding a go too. I prefer wearing fins and riding shorter kneeboards when I kneeboard, but to each their own, even amongst kneeboarders. And yeah that guy, and his brother Chayne can pretty much rip standing up when they choose to.

    Surf. Just surf. On a bodyboard, on your body, on a wood table, an alaia, a short, a long, an egg. Just surf. Be proud of what the ocean gives us and put a smile on your face even if it’s 1 foot and onshore. Don’t be against the flow of others. Just appreciate it. Surf. Just surf.

    I know that guy. He doesn’t have any legs. He told me He had a doctor in T.J. cut them off. He has some strange thing where he feels complete now that they are cut off. He had them cut off right above the knee. It’s a very rare condition in which one feels one or more of their limbs is not truly their own, and they become obsessed with cutting it off.

    wow! full on hornets nest of opinion… it IS a different way of surfing, and I’d guess that most of the “haters” can’t/don’t throw a turn like this dude (not to mention the “tube-time”). THANKS for having the balls to put this up there! Cool to see; and cool to be reminded of how closed-minded most people are… even people sitting around our own campfire!

    Everyone has their own opinion, like the old sane goes opinions are like _ssholes everyone has one. Kneeboarding or Standup it’s all good we just do it DEEPER, FASTER and Harder!
