hi peoples
have a prominent tibial tuberosity from old osgood schlatters (look that up on dr google haha)
gets pretty tender with all my kneeling as a newbie
anyone one got knee pad suggestions
thx
What board do you have? Can you put more foam on it?
also what are air and water temps. are you wearing rubber? Last summer I wore a farmer John suit just to have some rubber on my knees. A buddy was wearing his biking knee pads
thx
Armstrong with some foam
warm conditions but use
wetsuit with knee scuff pads
rebel has some volleyball pads.........
Shove closed cell sleeping mat foam down inside your wetsuit over your knees, it's pretty easy to do as you are putting on the wetsuit and doesn't move once the wetsuit is on - was a game changer when I was learning
I used some sailing knee pads when I was learning. You can get them for boating/sailing shops. Often worn on Skiff's. Waterproof and good protection.
These are on MB knee pads - G-Form Pro X2 Knee Pad. More for impacts but they worked

My advice... ask around at your local spot to see if anyone has some you can borrow. It won't be that long before you don't need them anymore. If you're set on buying some, the best ones I found were from the sailing industry.
I have super sensitive knees, likely from stupid stuff as a kid, I just wear the cheap knee pads from the local hardware store. They last about a season, then I replace them. Wife wears leggings, so she stuffs closed cell foam in to her leggings.

I wish I had read this thread before I started last year. Some good tips in here and some things I never thought about.
