Excellent stuff.
The Lis fish was SUCH a massive step forward. How many of today's retro-trendies realise they actually have a kneenboard in their quiver?
Wide twin keel fish go SO much better on your knees. Tube machines.

At a recent mat get together half of us came to the mat via a knee board.
Tube machines indeed!
perfect quiver for me is a 6'2 kneelo for tubes and a mat for everything else...
maybe a 6'6 on those rare BIG days...
Where are you/what kneeboards do you ride Mateo?

grayman, im in oh sea, socal...
@ 230 ibs my favorite boards been a 6'1 x 24" x2.5 flashpoint ... but it was too good and let me do airs which consequentialy snapped the board.....
right now im riding a flashpoint 6'1 x 23" x 2 1/4 pintail which works awsome but is nearing the end...
putting in a order this week for a 5'11 x 25" x 2 5/8ths quad from a local shaper....

Sorry for the late response Mateo.
How are you finding your Flashpoints? For me, Bruce Hart is the worlds best kneeboard shaper. Closely followed by my own, Bro Diplock.
