Surfing is one of the most popular sports today especially to those who live near the shoreline. The people who are involved in surfing get enjoyment and relaxation in this very adventurous sport.

Surfing is a sport where the enthusiasts glide toward the shore on a breaking wave of sea water. Surfers usually use specially designed wooden or synthetic boards that are lightweight and allow the user for greater maneuverability.

While surfing is very popular, many are still ignorant to a sport very much common to surfing, knee boarding.

Knee boarding is very similar to surfing. It is a discipline where the user also uses a wooden or synthetic board that is known as a kneeboard – the rider paddles on his belly against the wave.

The popularity of knee boarding increased when the surf movie ‘Crystal Voyager’ was released by a prominent Californian kneeboard rider, George Greenough. After that, most surfers tried knee boarding and became indulged in the game.

Knee boarding requires a water current just like in surfing. It requires waves that are big and waves where the rider can go into. Only few places can offer this special requirement of knee boarding.

One of the best places for knee boarding is the sea water of Honduras. One of the best in this country is the Roatan Island. The island was the setting of popular TV reality program of Fox, ‘Temptation Island 3’.

Roatan Island is one of those islands that is not highly populated and with only few tourists. It is a tropical island of pristine beaches, uncrowded by visitors. Another thing about the island is that it is budget friendly and you can always find place where you can lay your head and body in a minimal price.

Costa Rica is another destination for knee boarding – a country that offers breathtaking knee boarding spots that you can never resist. Most of the beaches of Costa Rica are of serene beauty and with the type of wave required for good keeboarding. Knee boarders will definitely like the place for it is unique and one of a kind.
