Can anyone recommend good knee pads for surfing? Yeah I know, no grandpa jokes please.
In winter I have full length wetsuit, and have been buying cheapie knee pads for summers past, but they become loose over time.
I will search kite and sup suppliers.
Thanks in advance.

Try the kiting forums - they use knee pads......but not for kiting

You may want to go into a chemist and look at knee braces some are made out of wetsuit like stuff and add a bit of padding without the discomfort of actual knee pads.

Padded knee-braces are the go!

Sports store.

No, stand up surfing, short board and mid length. I'm always bumping my knees and over time they become sore, and I ain't 20 anymore

Yup what they said.

I always found these to be quite useful, and they're free.

That's what mine were like for years til I started using deck pads. I popped the one on my left knee like a big zit free falling into Pea Break once. Wasn't pretty and very sore, put me out of the water for quite a while. Deck pads came shortly after.
