drag gets me off my gut. i want to run sections. plus when the waves are fat and weak, there's no way to get moving on the bb without reducing your drag. but i found it hard to DK - no fins, little board, and you've got flippers on - not the best for waving your feet around and placing them on a boa...

most kneeboarders are older guys who have been surfing since the early to mid 70s - they're all really skilled and so get respect. there aren't many groms or kooks in the game to give it a bad name.

people seem to regard them with nostalgic fondness. the hatred seems long gone.
