i have a ho sports striker knee board. it is a good ride but not great. it seems to not catch a edge easy so its very hard to charge the wake as i would like to. i am losing out, i feel on speed and height. i was wondering if anyone has this problem and was thinking about putting wake board fins on it to try but figured i would ask before i drill holes in a random place on my new 275.00 board? also is there any instructional videos for knee boarding on how to do more advanced tricks? i would like to learn back flips and barrel rolls by this method instead of just trying it. i attempt barrel rolls now but cant rotate fast enough to make it all the way around. i land either totally upside down to 3/4 of the way just cant get the rest of the way around.

I know a guy on WW user name Tuneman. Send him a pm, he knows of a kneeboarder forum and he has some sick vids of kneeboarder ripping it up behind his 09 Epic. 15 foot backrolls the guy just lanches. Might be kneeboarder.com

Hey, that's me! The website is www.kneeboardworld.com

Head on over there to get all the info you need about kneeboarding.

BTW, don't put fins on your kneeboard. They'll just create drag and mess you up.

Hey Mikey,
bones77 sent me an e-mail. That's how I found out about this forum.

The Epic has been epic. The wake and performance really are amazing. It's getting time that I need to sell it to make room for the next one, though. If anyone is interested, I have it listed on onlyinboards.com. Asking $54,900 obo.

Here's a couple of pics of Colin Ryan behind it last Wednesday:

that wake looks like a tidal wave....should have sound effects in the boat that go off when you hit it.....

Holy S%!t that is some amazing stuff....incredible air. Never wakeboarder and have never kneeboarded like that. Makes me want to buy some ballast tanks for mine. Surfing looks very cool too.
