The mission
of the kneeboarding page and museum is to feature hotties and legends,
show our ancient history and create a travel network
of kneeboarders. Waves to visit (some without names), shapers and products
to comment on, and contest fun. To provide a fun place to meet and share
links and photos. And, to encounter George Greenough and Velo someday.

history!
