The modern kneelo scene is built around the fins forward thruster ala Flashpoint or Parkes
The other school of kneeboarding(and modern surfing for that matter!) came about via the Steve Lis Fish. Fins back, a foot or so shorter than fins forward boards and ridden off the tail.
Smicko - thanks for this explanation. I have often wondered about these things but never really looked into it. There are two blokes locally with kneelo's and I often wondered why one of them has fins so far up the board and the other so near the tail. They seem like two different species / approaches. I actually saw one of them this arvo as I walked back down the beach after my session and had a chuckle to myself as I contemplated the new knowledge I had picked up this week. Cheers.
