Worst way to start off a summer

[wbarksda]

Have the surgery ASAP or you will regret it later. I tore mine in 07 along with my ACL.

lastly - consider getting more ballast - surfing is low impact and pretty fun... let your buddies drive you around...

sorry bro -

I agree 100% on this one! I compressed my back a few years ago and could not wakeboard so I got into wakesurfing (I still like wakeboarding much more).

I noticed you said it didn't sound like "fun". I can promise you that it will be 1000 times more fun than just sitting in the boat!! At least you can work on your balance and keep your leg muscles in shape. It taught me alot about body position and balance.

Now thats a good point!!! lol

And besides that you will have to upgrade your ballast for surfing, just think what that will translate to the wakeboard wake next season!!! Be sure and upgrade both sides!!!

If you can get into sky skiing you will be able to just sit there and ride all day.
It's alot easier on you than wakeboarding.

I actually have no ballast in my boat as of right now. Im in the process of ordering all my ballast stuff and hope to start on it in the next week or so. Im just going with two 750# bags in the rear, 400# bag in the ski locker, and a 650# in the bow. Will that work for surfing?

2 years ago i blew out my knee too tore acl and meniscus had surgery jan and that summer i bought my boat i knew i wanted one so i took that summer easy not a fun thing to do but got to know my boat really well. never drove an inboard before so it did take time. needless to say i can dock it like a champ so use your down time to get familiar with the boat and give everyone else a run cause the next summer i was ready to go i was sure to get my sets and everyone understood. never had knee trouble before but it feels great now and didn't have any issues this past summer. like the others said get it fixed now while your young go thru pt and you'll be back at and it won't even faze ya

If you just tore the miniscus I'd have it scoped and done with. I've had my knees scoped a total of 6 times (4 right and 2 left - baseball catcher through college) and if you're diligent with the rehab you will be back to normal in about 2 weeks. The surgery isn't really a big deal as long as you do the therapy as instructed.
