Toasted my summer that hasn't even started yet
Whelp, wasted my other knee first trip skiing this year. Pretty bummed as I was starting to feel like I was progressing at Wakeboarding finally. Been laying in bed the past few days after surgery and its really starting to sink in.
Both knees are crap now and I'm looking for any good knee brace companies. Currently looking at custom CTi braces now, anyone have any experience with any other brands? I had an EVS and destroyed it. I'm very active with boarding, motocross, skiing, hunting, surfing, etc so the brace has got to be well rounded (water and dirt) for anything really. Let me know.

sorry to hear about the knee problems, unfortunately I am all to familiar. I have a Townsend and a DONJOY
Townsend was provided after my second surgery and the DONJOY after my third.
I like the Townsend for the water as it's not as bulky and fancy. I use the DONJOY at work mostly and anything that doesn't get me to dirty, wet, or sweaty. trying to keep the DONJOY serviceable for as long as I can. Both were paid for by insurance as they were work related injuries, wouldn't want to be on the hook for either of these out of my own bank account, if I remember right the DONJOY was in the 2K range

I have the CTI with the aws straps, seems like most pros wear the CTI custom, get the neoprene sleeve to prevent any slipping. I cut up an old wet suit.. I looked into getting a custom, however the cost was $$$$, when I called CTI the rep said there's not much difference between the ots and custom, unless you have really big/small calves..
The best thing I've found for rehab is the indo board for rehab. That thing kills my vmo muscle. Hopefully I won't fall of it and break my neck..

Great info guys, I'll look into those braces as well. Going to try and have the insurance pay for two braces. I don't have many parts left to cannibalize for my knees. I'm pretty sure they'll fund one, not so sure about the other, I might just have to bite the bullet on that one. These injuries have ridiculous recovery times. Oh well, nothing I can do now other than try to prevent it from happening again. Thanks again for the info.

Make sure you rehab both knee, probably why you tore the second one.
