There's no reason for it anyways. It's so outdated you rarely see anybody do it anymore. Why do wakeboarders especially hate it? It just seems so small of a thing to feel so strongly about. I kneeboard still and am actually better at it than wakeboarding, but I'd choose wakeboarding over kneeboarding 90% of the time. I don't appreciate all the trash talking. One thing I'm sure of though, it certainly isn't worse than tubing.

I suppose you're right. Just for the sake of rivalry. Kneeboard is cool because you can do trick AND slalom! :lol:

I actually love to kneeboard and I also am better at it than wakeboard. I dont really understand how one is cool and one isnt. Many of the tricks are the same, and both riders are after smooth water to go big. Its not like a tuber who tears up the smooth stuff.

Well said. I sometimes bring out the Joker to show up some of these rich punk kids on their wakeboards behind X-stars and SANTEs doing wake to wakes. Occasionally they'll throw in an accidental grab. I'm not giving it up until I land a front roll. I got the back roll and off-axis 360 down.

The common kneeboard 'backroll' looks a lot like a barrel roll. My backroll is straight back, no twist at all. Kinda funny we have almost the same boat too. The Joker is an awesome board, it's a shame to see it hardly get used anymore though.

Long live kneeboarding.
