The Legless Journal Way back in, 1998, which this year is fourteen, (yep, count ’em, fourteen) years ago, The Surfers’ Journal ran an article about kneeboard surfing entitled ‘Endangered Species’. It was probably a bit of a curio to most of the readership but it gave rise to a great deal of controversy in kneeboard circles because the basic premise of the piece was … well, the title really tells you all you need to know: survival, would it, could it, should it. We at legless.tv read it, thought about it, went surfing. Time moves on and here we are in the 21st century and kneeboarding once more gets a run in the quality surf press. If you can find Volume 21 Number 1 of The Surfers’ Journal on a newsstand you’ll find one of Steen’s shots of Albert on the cover. Inside there’s a neat article by Ted Endo and a few more photos too. Of course it’s noteworthy that kneeboarding gets a run in the press, but we’re also taking note of the fact that this particular cover actually represents a triple first. First time a surfer riding a wave but not standing up has graced the cover of TSJ; first time Steen’s had a shot on the cover of TSJ; first time the Gong’s been on the cover of TSJ. There are those among us who pray it’ll be the only time the Gong makes it to the cover of a glossy mag, but that’s another story. Legless.tv is about progressive kneeboard surfing and our love for it. We’d like to send a big thank you to Steve Pezman for the chance to spread our legless love via the pages of such an esteemed publication, and to Ted Endo for doing such a great job of helping the surfing world understand why we do what we do. Anyway, with that said, we reckon you ought to go out and buy this Trifecta issue of the Journal right now because in a hundred years it’s going to be a collector’s item worth serious coin. Now we’re going surfing. Rob Harwood legless.tv
