Question

Can anyone give me tips on using a knee board when participating in water sports?

Answer 1

if you mean a knee board as in the one that is used in surf life saving clubs, then practice in flat waters to learn and begin to get your balance. After you feel more confident start to use it in slightly rougher waters. After you think you have the hang of it take it into the waves. To begin with you may want to try doing this on your stomach. When you catch a wave you must move backwards on the board to the very rear and hold onto the handles lying down. If you aren't part of a surfclub already i suggest you do so. It's great fun and they will teach you. Thats how i learnt.

your driver is really important. laying on the board with your elbows planted, when the boat moves use your elbows to gain leverage to pull your knees under you. if you bounce you're going too fast. your driver should be able to micro-adjust the throttle. once up pull your handle to your back hip and lean the way you want to go. when in doubt lean back. if you get air land on the tail of the board..or a digger is in your future. ouch.
