Ron Romanosky is a well known and established name in the surfing community, for both his kneeboarding and his photography. He has been acknowledged for this form of surfing since 1970 and for his long tenure as a kneeboarder at California's Wedge. He is also recognized as one of this sport's leading shapers and for his kneeboard line, every one of which he personally shapes. Ron's clients are experienced watermen and have ridden waves the world over.
Ron's been doing spoons for a while now and as pictured above and below has tested them in some harsh conditions @ Wedge. Being so hard to paddle you need to be a fit s.o.b to make 'em happen. I've been waiting to see someone go full on spoony, especially in this age of hull resurrection. I personally nominate Barry Baker (stand up/kneelo barrel expert) for the job. Rated very high in the contest arena but it's his free surfing at a spot I freQuent that demands him huge respect.
How could I not post this classic pic of Terry Wade from the infamous "September Swell" of 1970. Another Wedge fixture riding a single fin non spoon.
