Hi there

My entry into surfing was on a conventional foam & glass kneeboard and it's a form of surfing that I really enjoy.

Now that I've also been turned on to mat and alaia riding, I often wonder if and how there is a paipo/alaia shape that would work with kneeriding?

Anyone tried kneeling on the type of boards that get talked about in these forums? Is there a particular shape that might work?

Im no kneeboarder, but I have tried kneeing on a paipo for fun Smile . Unfortunatley , it did not work, the board sank under the water and I stopped Embarassed . My board is a bullet shape 3/4 inches thick, 42 inches long, and about 24 inches wide ( just a little wider than I'am). Idea A bigger board might help it float.
