Why is Walden building kneeboards? Well, we have been building kneeboards since 1969. Here's a brief history:
Steve built his first kneeboard for himself, called the Full Force. He loved the sport so much that he went into production in Huntington Beach in 1971. Steve had a full-on kneeboard team, including team riders Dean Cleary and Ed Greener.
Steve moved to Hawaii in 1974 and continued kneeboarding at Rocky Point between surf sessions. Steve's kneeboard production continued in Hawaii for Lightning Bolt, Surfline Hawaii, and HIC. Fast forward to today, and Steve is back designing and shaping kneeboards. We are introducing two new models, the Lowrider and the Mojo
The Lowrider is for: the avid kneeboarder looking for more volume, a rider who wants to kneeboard without swim fins, or someone who can no longer surf, maybe due to an injury, but doesn't want to get out of the water. A Walden kneeboard rider said it best: "A kneeboard turns a small wave day into a big wave fun day."
The Walden Lowrider is a condensed volume board, meaning we added volume to the width and thickness rather than the length. We added our famous Magic Model hull and ergonomic fin placement, creating a really generous sweet spot in the middle of the board, which is a more concentrated area compared to a surfboard for optimum maneuverability. The lowrider is technically a kneeboard, but it's versatile enough that you can ride it prone or just surf it too.
