    My policy is no shoes on the seats. I'm am not too concerned with the floor especially because it is carpet. To have someone put shoes on my seats....recipe for me being less than kind. I've mastered the butt swivel motion getting in sitting on the side of the boat for those times needed.

    That's exactly what the guy who cleans my carpets at the house says.

    Bottom line: Boat owner makes the rules, boat owner choses when and where to follow the rules himself. I changed out my carpet to hydroturf. I work on my boat all the time wearing shoes (doing upgrades, projects, etc). I get in and out without ever touching the seats with my shoes. When I screwed up my midfoot ligament last year, I left my shoes on while using my boat, but made everyone else take theirs off! LOL.

    No judgement from me. I'm pretty confident that if you can shred hard on a surfboard that you have the dexterity to avoid the vinyl! Carry on!

    Well, I haven't had any boating to contribute to the March thread. And there probably won't be any boating happening this month for me.

    It's been a pretty awesome snowboarding season, but the wife had to miss most of it because we're pretty sure a wakesurf pull took out her rotator cuff and she had surgery on it in August. She was just cleared to ski at the beginning of March, so that was great to finally be back on the slopes with her. That lasted all of 8 days when injury struck me.



    It was my 8th day snowboarding out of the past 15. We had just started our day and headed straight to Heather Canyon, a double black diamond sidecountry area. I dropped the steep double black run like I have so many times in the past, but with variable snow conditions I got bucked off and took a tumble... I could feel a sharp pain on the inner side of my knee. It hurt, but not so bad I needed ski patrol. I was able to ride the rest of the way down to the chair, and regroup with the wife and our friend. The next day it was really stiff and sore, so I knew I needed to make an appointment with the orthopedic specialist.

    They suspected MCL damage, so knee brace and an apointment for an MRI followed.




    Good news is that I won't have to have surgery. The MCL has some damage and there's a tiny bit of damage to the ACL. It'll be a couple months of physical therapy, but I'll have to hang up the snowboard for the remainder of the season. Hopefully I can transition back into watersports as the season ramps up...

    I'll get the boat back on the water as soon as I can, but doing any "springtime mods" might be a challenge... Hope you all get our shredding soon!!!

    I spent yesterday dirt biking and a perfect day for riding but I had no pain in my back or knees for the first time in five years. It is short lived though as I haven't been working out because of a bacterial infection brought back from Hawaii and getting Influenza-A despite having a flu shot.

    You gotta protect your body parts as you get older or you'll be doing more sitting than playing. Get used to using "good" knee braces where it doesn't hinder your sport even if you have good knees. If you are having pain going into summer have your knees cleaned out of the loose stuff as it gets in places where it shouldn't. Watch your posture and have others let you know if you are overcompensating for the knee injury as that will start giving you back problems. Sometimes I don't even realize it until someone tells me to straighten up. When I say good knee braces, I am talking about braces that fits tighter than a glove so you'll see a long upper part and lower part with multiple straps on the top and bottom. They would be able to fit inside ski pants with no problem. I've had three clean outs on my right knee and I can't recover what has been damaged but I do like to take the broke parts out rather than have them interfering with what does work. I wish you the best.

    Hope it all works out fine Trayson, I have no cartilage in my outer right knee due to an accident. Took 9mths to walk again and 2yrs before I could do stairs. My old man is a GP and recommended I let nature do its thing and see what happens. Sure was slow but can do most things atm. I cross country ski but I'm not fit nor skinny. Would not go downhill with my knee thou, I'm err 52yo so gotta look after what's left! Same as I wont try slalom as much as I wouldn't mind having a go tho. Getting up on the wakesurfer is enough strain and pressure but getting used to it, surf goofy although I'm not sure you would call what I do strictly surfing....more like hanging on atm! A lot softer to fall off this one then hitting the snow.
    A couple of pics from last Sunday out at Eildon. Probably the last for this season I'd say.
    Cheers BruceR

    Looking good, Bruce! Yes, thank God for wakesurfing. It's about all I do anymore. I have so much crap clicking around in my knees they could fill a bucket with it.

    The joys of being active. I sit at a desk all day during the week and teach kids how to ski on the weekends spending most my time in a wedge, which kills the knees. On the bright side we can ski together as a family even my 20 month old.

    Old habits die hard...picked up a lightly used 2011 RMZ250. Haven't ridden since 2008ish. Broke my femur in a crash in 07, rode a few times after recovery but couldn't shake the fear. Felt incredible to be back on it Sunday.
