1. A method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor having a capacitor element produced by the steps of:
forming a dielectric coating layer on the surface of an anode body, forming a conductive polymer cathode layer on the dielectric coating layer, and forming a cathode lead-out layer on the conductive polymer cathode layer, wherein
the step of forming the conductive polymer cathode layer comprises an electrolytic polymerization step of forming the conductive polymer cathode layer on the surface of the anode body on which the dielectric coating layer is formed by electrolytic polymerization using an electrolytic polymerization solution containing at least a monomer to be polymerized into the conductive polymer and an ionic liquid;
the electrolytic polymerization step is carried out at intermittent constant current.
2. The method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1, wherein
the ionic liquid contains at least one selected from the group consisting of an imidazolium-based ionic liquid and a piperidinium-based ionic liquid.
The claims below are in addition to those above.

1-22. (canceled)
23. A kneeboard comprising:
a riding surface;
a knee strap for securing a rider;
a biasing means; and
a hook having a retaining surface, the hook being biased by the biasing means, and the hook being rotatable relative to the riding surface;
wherein a position of the retaining surface changes relative to the riding surface as the hook rotates relative to the riding surface; and
wherein the hook is rotatable to a position where the retaining surface is suitable for retaining a towline.
24. The kneeboard according to claim 23, further comprising:
a rod fixed relative to the riding surface, wherein the hook is rotatable about the rod relative to the riding surface.

a housing connected to the hook.
26. The kneeboard according to claim 24, wherein the housing includes at least three fastener holes.
27. The kneeboard according to claim 23, wherein the riding surface comprises a molded leg position feature.
28. The kneeboard according to claim 23, wherein the biasing means comprises a spring.
29. The kneeboard according to claim 23, wherein the hook comprises a spring channel.
30. The kneeboard according to claim 23, wherein the retaining surface of the hook includes a radius of curvature suitable for accommodating a ski rope handle.
31. The kneeboard according to claim 23, wherein the hook is rotatable to a protruding position wherein at least a portion of the hook protrudes from the riding surface.
32. A method of towing a kneeboard, the method comprising:
providing a kneeboard comprising:
a riding surface;
a knee strap for securing a rider;
a biasing means; and
a hook having a retaining surface, the hook being biased by the biasing means, and the hook being rotatable relative to the riding surface;
wherein a position of the retaining surface changes relative to the riding surface as the hook rotates relative to the riding surface;
providing a towline; and
causing the hook to rotate to a position where the retaining surface is suitable for retaining the towline.
