Any recommendations for a good chop board (not surf...yet) for newbie kiter with pending knee replacement? J.P. Since 10 Mar 2005 638 Posts Addicted Wed Sep 15, 10 10:47 am     I was forced to turn to the human junk yard last year needing two ligaments to rebuild my right knee. It's opinion of the best board is hands down the Cabrinha Caliber. Good luck with the replacement. _________________ John UPWIND LAUNCH OF A SPORT Bettyboarder Since 18 Mar 2005 1823 Posts PDX/ White Salmon XTreme Poster Wed Sep 15, 10 10:49 am     Why not a surf? After Phil messed up his ACL he rode a strapless surf for a season. It prevented any chance his knee would get jerked around. The good part was he's gotten pretty good at riding surf and skimboard now. _________________ Join the CGKA! Membership is only $10!

I switched from a North Jaime Pro and have been really happy with how smooth it is. Absolutely cuts through chop. My knees used to hurt after a session on the Jaime, on the X-ride, it is a non-issue. Demo one. You will buy it. Another board that is smooth on the chop was the Ocean Rodeo Mako, but I think the X-ride is more versatile. jp Since 04 Mar 2005 87 Posts wherever there are whitecaps   Wed Sep 15, 10 3:17 pm     think out of the box...BRO        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
