OK so what does spooning have to do with the Christian Singles google ad…Oh I get it!!!
lol
Ohk. What about kneeboards. I mean how does one go about making one. Obvious same as surfboard but smaler and bla bla. But ummmmmmm. Dimensions. i have no clue, i dont really knoe much about them. The guy im going to shape the board for is still a bit of an ameteur and i dnt know what surf he surfs so i dont know if the waves he surfs will get a spoon gonig since they are so thin etc and cant surf weak small waves. Prob end up just making a av kneeboard.
bizarre eh ?
i’ll do a thread called three headed monster one of these days , just to see what ads appear , I reckon !
Mate, I don’t know if this will help much but here is an article from Bob McTavish written circa 1977. I noticed the other day that Bob has surfaced here on Swaylocks so firstly…Welcome Mr McTavish, I hope you don’t mind me posting this link and if you have anything else to add after 30 years please do, I think Cheater can use a bit of help.
Anyhoo here is the link

Well, a few things about kneeboards:
They are shorter and proportionally wider than surfboards. Part of it is ‘cos your average kneeboard type ( like me) won’t be moving back and forth on it. You can kinda take it from there, there’s at least as much variation in kneeboards as surfboards. Sizes range from 4’6" ( really waaay too small ) to 7’ ( contest boards for large guys) .
As to a flex-spoon for somebody that’s a relative beginner; that might be a little tricky. Like just about all kneeboards, they ‘prefer’ a fast, powerful wave more than anything else.
Now, rather than go on and just describe what I like, let me suggest www.ksusa.org, where you’ll find a greater spread of the tribe.
hope that’s of use
doc…
Cheater 5, is all this what you were talking about?
Just wanna make sure.
When I hear “spoon” the first thing I think of is an 8’6" Yater.
Not that these kneelo flexspoons aren’t spoons too, but nobody had mentioned the ‘other’ spoon.
Sgt: “That’s Charlie’s Point, Sir. Its a little Hairy.”
Capt Willard: “Charlie doesn’t surf.”
Col Kilgore: “F$#k it, we’ll take the point first thing in the morning and then go surfing. Lance, pick out a board you like. Bring me my Yater Spoon, its the 8’6”."
Or something like that 
Hey cheater_5,
Come on over to flexspoon.com and show us what you are doing and see how others have made/are making spoons.
Glad to see that there are others into spoons.

Funny you should be asking about kneeboard dimensions
…here’s a post where I did exactly the same … [ search under ‘for the kneeboarders among us’ , in case it spits it]
there’s a few photos there of some . [Not many dimensions, for some reason though, unfortunately]
…And yes , check out the kneeboard forums that ‘doc’ and ‘flexspoon’ have suggested …
okay mate , I hope this helps ?

p.s. - don’t forget the “advanced search” thing I pm ed you about , “cheater5” [will you ever reveal your real [first] name ? hehe]
