Dang - sucks getting old. Oh wait! Uh,....

Hope you have a speedy recovery!!

Broke my ankle last year riding. I fractured the end of my tibia. Didn't need surgery but was back out riding within 6 weeks. I think you will feel strong sooner than you think.

Well that's good news to hear , I am older probably will take some time to heal .Doc says it's the best route to go for quick recovery. Been lucky I guess , in almost 20yrs of wakeboardin' this is my second injury that I can think of. Definitely cabin fever will kick in , and we are having record heat and no rain. Doesn't help with our wildfires of course.

Sorry to hear that Jim... what happened? Did one foot come out?

[New Guy]

Been there it sucks but stay on your rehab and you will be right back at it.

Did a heel side jump wake to wake , stuck the tip of the wakeboard in , both feet stayed in the boots , all my weight went over the left foot . It is a lot better since the injury, have been off of it for a week now and icing it regularly. Should be good to go for surgery tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the injury. Hope surgery goes as well as possible tomorrow.

I racked my knee with the wakeboard Saturday. Knee all swolled up and don't know about this weekend. Won't seem to quit hurting. Everyone at work says it's time for me to get a Bass Tracker and give this up. What do they know?
