Kneeboarding is an aquatic sport where the participant is towed on a buoyant, convex, and hydrodynamically shaped board at a planing speed. In the usual configuration of a tow-sport kneeboard, riders kneel on their heels on the board and secure themselves to the deck with an adjustable Velcro strap over their thighs. Most water ski kneeboards do not have fins because it allows for easier surface spins. Kneeboarding is typically a quicker learning curve for newbies, and falling is less frightening because of the participant’s closer proximity to the water.
