dive board

Do you think the hard knee boards/wake boards would work for a dive board? Are they boyant enough? I'm guessing everyone uses the foam boogie boards because they are cheaper but I don't have a boogie board. Someone offered me a knee board for free and I'm going to use that unless someone can think of a reason not to.

they are cheaper

  and lighter. 
Hope it works for you they paddle a lot faster

I have a kneeboard that I was going to toss if anyone wants it free.

Are you coming to GMS III?

My friend tried using a knee board but it wasnt bouyant enough. they are designed to ride just under the surface.

Are you coming to GMS III?

No but if you are coming from the south I live in Santa Rosa 1 min off the 101

Plus if for whatever reason diving you get wacked with the knee board...the things going to leave a mark if doesn't knock you out first.

Thanks. I guess I'll stick with a boogie board.

Don't get the tire tube doughnut thing.  Unless you like patching tire tubes all the time.

I replaced the tube with pool noodles. Works great and you will never have to worry about a leak.

Hi Amp:

   CostCo has some Foam Surf Boards for $80. ,that might work. Has anyone tried the Foam Boards?

I agree.  Also comes in very handy if you come across a bunch of nice uni.  No way I ever wanted to put urchins in the inner tube before.  Deflating 200 yds from the beach would be no fun...oops!   I zip-tied a bunch together to make them behave.

There is also a 'foam floatie thing' they make that is rectangular. It is 6'' wide by 1'' thick and 3 or 4 feet long.
I used it on the outside of the pool noodles to keep the sides of the float tube nice and high.
It also makes the bag fit as though there were a tube inside.

Tote,

Where did you find this rectangular foam floatie?  thanks

Great Idea - I go through about 1 tube a year for my float.  I was picking them up pretty cheap a truck stops, but in a pinch had to pay $13 at a dive shop for my last one.  Pool noodles seem like a much better substitute.
