Roger "Proneman" Kelly has been riding his impressive collection hulls both prone and on his knees for some time now. His Instagram page is
here.
Here are some stills of him in various right points around the globe...
Richard Safady was the first hull rider I knew of who starting knee riding his stand up boards, then evolving into laying down. I'm not sure when Roger started relative to Saf, but I think is was after.
I built a
9'4'' Greenough/Simmons last August, with the intention of riding it standing up, kneeling, and laying down. It's been a boon for me, because I hate riding mats in small, crowded lineups. Over time, I pretty much got into riding prone all the time in those conditions. It goes on nothing!
Here's an odd little video of the board. I picked up a foot high wall of whitewater in the shorebreak and rode it onto bare sand. Even when it was down to 3'' or 4" high, the board just kept going...
