Shaper's Torque. Greg talks 4 Fin Fish and Blast Kneeboards with Stevo. @ G-land

- Greg travels the world and hunts the barrel. J-Bay, Hawaii and G-Land. Did I mention G-Land?
He's been a G-Land local for over 30 years and rides a slightly unconventional short/er 4 Fin Fish. Buddy of Blast Designs in Hawaii has been developing these since Steve Lis first cut a blank down, drawing around his body in the kneeling position and his flippers.
Greg wants kneelos around the world to join his 'church' - or at least to explore the advantages in big and powerful waves.

Thanks to Ernst Ohlhoff for the J-Bay surf video. ...
Thanks to Troy Wells for the channel graphics. ...
I lucked out growing up in San Diego in the late 70s and got a Steve Lis fish twinfin kneeboard ...what a dream to ride compared to my early 70s single fin . Steve made a heavier board that tracked way better than my lighter single fin .Duck feet are the way to go on a kneeboard 🤙😎
Mid '70s I had a 5'6" Lis fish that I used for big Blacks, big La Jolla Cove, etc. Had a 4'11" fish for smaller waves. Good times.
Great video..wish more boards were made in America...been knelo for 30 yrs..67yo now..had a retro fish..made by local shop...rides good for Florida waves...also sup surf and body board...keep riding be safe...
You DAMN KNEEBOARDERS are killing over there. So stoked to see you guys ripping. Digging every photo, every word you are talking about your boards and being in G-Land..... Arggggg!! wish I was a bit younger and in better shape.... More kneeboarding heroes to add to my list of all timers... Thanx boys! GO SURF!! . . . . . . you guys rip...."H"
Greg is eligible for a bus pass. But celebrates riding big big waves. You and I can sit back and watch.
These are great Lawence, keep 'em coming.
Thanks Bradley.
I enjoy it when people let me tell their story. So send me videos and edit and I'll post.
I started kneeboarding in 1973, Zuma beach....got pounded..riding a 4 6 Elpipo, wide diamond tail, single fin...sooo much fun, side slip, barrels, sacrifice barrels. Spent several years in Morro Bay, I'm on to white water rafting
Would love to hear from my compadres
Last day... Hollister ranch after work 3 yrs...6 to 8 face, howling offshore, 2 or more barrels per wave, long paddle back but we'll worth it
Great to hear people's stories
epic g-land shots , absolutely slotted at speedies
Shanana! 🤣 What a boitjie. +1 on the Buddy mcCray's
Now I just want to order a 4 fin fish 😃
And book a flight to G-Land? Take an apprenticeship under the master?
Fun video!thnks Lawrence
I would love to get a blast one of these days throw it at some southern ocean juice
Well the world is a village. Contact them, order one, pay and paddle
@@kneeboardtorque5971 one of these days I will add one to the collection! So many Kneeboards so little time.
It sounds like Tom-Curren behind the camera
Cool editing !!
Thanks Robbie. I'm still learning about this 'editing game', and when you editing a 20-minute long video every time you go through it it's a full 20 minutes. It does really just take time.
I'm dropping a video this week. 6 Minutes. And the original filming done on two cameras with the intention of doing a tight video. Look forward to your thoughts on "Gigs's Garage".
@@kneeboardtorque5971 message just found! Will check it out. ;)
change to a flat sided rear fin to counteract the problem. increase size of the rear fin also , shrink the size of the front fin
I been surfing 45 years but my hips don't let me get up anymore until I get double hip replacement. In the mean time I'm getting into kneeboarding. My question - are swim fins necessary? When do you use them? Seems I could paddle into waves without fins. Do they help keep you stable while riding?
The sport is split into two very distinct opposition groups. On the plus side it does give you a burst of energy to get onto the waves. For me, the times you break a leash it's a easy swim in. On those long paddle outs, or paddles back to the point against a rip you're going to be glad you've got fins on.
So my suggestion is use them, and only if for some reason you experience difficulty or a problem then try without.
How many inches are the front fins up from the tail?
Nobody's ever made a bonzer kneeboard! Mike Eaton with plastic flexible fins channels!!!!
Certainly there have been many bonzer kneeboards made. A Campbell Brother Kneeboard is in Bobby's Surfboard collection. See my video on this channel.
