Steve Artis When you say a seemless transition, do you notice any differences in how you ride the board, prone versus kneeling. I would imagine a quite different centre of gravity and weighting. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this?

I was really meaning how all th Hanalia fins adapted to proning after using them in my kneeboards .The dynamics of proning versus kneeboard surfing as you imagined are different , I don't have definitive a explanation but feel that the chest and shoulders serve as a front foot or knees, and the thighs as rear foot or ankles , surfing prone I have felt a more lateral experience due to lower centre of gravity and weighting and much more versatile in waves I never really considered being able to surf on my knees , I hope that makes sense , its the pros and cons of each that keep the stoke fun

its all in your weight transfer , laying down prone will spread your weight evenly , and you will accelerate over kneeling in the one position will not be the same , the spoon was interesting yesterday as its a displacement hull so laying down prone you are surfing lower than the water level where is with say a belly / soft / board you are riding atop the water. I started off kneeling and I felt the moment I lost my fin as I came off the bottom and felt it slip off the top , flipped it over and no fin to be seen so rode it prone with the occasional kneel ! I like riding prone without fins as I enjoy the drift in the tail & with the spoon I was riding more off the tail as you can see in the video , my rule of thumb when riding crossover boards are , if you want more drive out of your board , large broad base keel type fins are the go and thats what I have in the little 4'8" softech fish , when you want to have some slip and drift, use those little D fins.
