Any recommendations for a good chop board (not surf...yet) for newbie kiter with pending knee replacement? tstansbury Since 06 Jun 2006 649 Posts Rowena and P.C Addicted Mon Sep 13, 10 3:34 pm     for a twin tip Ocean rodeo mako. (I have a used one I would give you a good deal on) It is a more ballanced stance then other twin tips with more concave .

I can kite for hours without pain to my knees. _________________ It's all good jackZ Since 13 Apr 2008 355 Posts Devon Alberta ca. Obsessed Mon Sep 13, 10 5:46 pm    chop riding OR Mako 140x40 is what I have experience with and it eats the bumps and has soft landings .

Cap Since 12 Mar 2008 50 Posts Hood River   Mon Sep 13, 10 7:03 pm     Underground boards from NZ are super flexible and have made it easier on my knees since I started riding them 2 years ago. I've had 2 knee surgeries and just ordered another Underground. _________________ Livin' in da' Hood kenja Since 19 Jun 2008 179 Posts Stoked Mon Sep 13, 10 8:17 pm     Try the North X-ride if you want a twin tip. It's smooth in the chop and a really good freeride board. I'm on my third ACL myself, so I feel your pain. kitenaked Since 19 Sep 2008 70 Posts West Coast   Tue Sep 14, 10 6:02 am     Wainman Joke is something worth checking out. 134-138-142 I prefer it over new Blunt II, but Blunt is still sweet. _________________ Chris www.kitenaked.com Wainman Hawaii - Shinn knuckledragger Since 01 Aug 2010 14 Posts   Tue Sep 14, 10 6:15 am     Thanks all. I'll be trying a few of these out soon. This is such a great sport. Wish I'd found it when I had knees. Jimbo Since 16 Jul 2009 58 Posts Seattle   Tue Sep 14, 10 7:28 am     BroKite 137. Has rocker and concave. Great board for a beginner on up and is great in the chop and you'll love it in the swell.
