Surf Knobs are not for everybody and we know that. However, this product was specifically designed to meet a need we saw in the market. Who are surf knobs for you ask???
Those surfers who have arm, back or leg injuries see dramatic benefits when using Surf Knobs. Surf Knobs allow them to get into their surfing stance despite their injury. They are sometimes used as a bridge for someone who is just getting back in the water after injury.
The aging surfer often struggles with adequate arm or back strength. Also, with age, we lose our flexibility, which makes it more and more difficult to execute a fast, controlled pop-up. Surf Knobs give the extra space you need to get your lower body into your surfing stance. It’s the equivalent of yoga blocks for your surfboard. Surf Knobs have been shown to get older surfers back out surfing successfully again after they thought surfing was in their past.
Surf Knobs have been shown to accelerate the learning curve for beginners. This is accomplished by providing a very defined, accurate place to put their hands during their pop-up. This proves useful in dry-land teaching and translates easily to in-water instruction. Also, with the extra space created by Surf Knobs, it’s easier for the beginner surfer to do a single motion pop-up into a correct surfing stance.
Offset the placement. Most people don’t realize they stagger their hands when popping up. Left hand planted closer to the nose compared to right hand if they are left foot forward (vice-versa for goofy footers). Photo is with a goofy footer.
Base placement for flatter waves. Hand placement varies some based on the type of wave you're taking off on. The steeper the wave the farther back your hands will be. Place the Knobs where you plant your hands on a flatter wave (so closer to the nose). These waves are often the toughest to get your lower body underneath you because there is very little board drop. On fast breaking waves, you’ll have more board drop and hence more space between your chest and the board to swing into your stance. In this situation, don’t use the Knobs, just plant your hands behind them on the deck.
Use Replacement Adhesives if you need to adjust your Knobs position.
