How the Forum Works

The new Ke Nalu forum is tightly integrated with the magazine. From now on nearly every article will have a corresponding forum topic to facilitate discussion–all you have to do is click the button at the bottom of the article to be taken to this discussion.

Forum posts can be rich, they can contain video, photos, html and other advanced features–so it’s an easy way for you to create an article. Our editors can transform these posts into an article with one click. If you are a registered Ke Nalu user you are automatically a Forum user. If you have special priviledges in the magazine (such as Author or Moderator), you have them in the forum. The most interesting feature though is the cross posting capabilities.

My aim to to make Ke Nalu a very useful resource. To that end I’m adding new technology that enables us to display more information, in more places, with better access and higher levels of interactivity. The forum feature is NOT intended to compete with the Standup Zone. The Zone is a well established, admirably administered community that serves the forum purpose completely. If you’re interested in Standup paddle surfing and you’re not a member of the Zone (www.standupzone.com) then you are missing out on a great resource and a fine group of folks.
