Aloha Don, Just wanted to drop you a note of thanks on the birthday of your "baby". This site has been God sent to me. Several years ago, in my 50's, I was coming to the end of my (stand up) surfing career due to nerve weakness in my leg. I happen to find this site and it has renew my bein...

GW, Bummer that you lost your med insurance prior to going for surgery. The ACL and PCL ligaments, like all ligaments, connect bone to bone and give the joint stability. If the MRI showed complete rupture of these ligaments you will essentially have a very loose and unstable joint. The problem with ...

Hey Scott. if you healthy, happy and keep it safe and balanced, I wouldn't worry about getting frozen shoulder. Primary adhesive capsulits is idiopathic (they don't really know the cause for sure) but people with diabetes, auto immune type arthritis, strokes, breast cancer, open heart surgery can ha...

Sorry to hear about your frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is the layman's term for adhesive capsulitis. Ofter times what is called frozen shoulder may be just a case of bad bursitis or tendonitis. True frozen shoulder involves the joint capsule which becomes inflamed and very painful. This is the fi...

You can also check with UPS, Fed Ex and DHL on shipping cost of board back to mainland to calculate if you would come out ahead with a board to use on Maui and a board to use or sell back home. Freight shipping to send board back may be cheaper than airlines charge for board. You may even sell for a...

Thinning my quiver. Selling kneeboard on Maui for great price. If you like it, you can buy it, surf it and ship it home for later use.

AZ, Bummer about your knee just as the winter season getting started. The pain and stiffness the next day may be due to ongoing swelling after the initial injury. The fluid from the swelling accumulates at night and so the next day it can feel even worse and less mobile. As with most traumatic injur...

Sorry to hear about your knee pain MR. More questions before jumping to conclusion. MR you said you had "water on the knee for past 2 years ...drained 7 times." You also mentioned: "This is a whole NEW injury." Questions: Did you have any mishap or injury that may have relatively...

Capt. Chris, Sorry to hear about your agony of being injured and out of the water so long. If you don't mind my asking, what did the MRI show? An accurate diagnosis often determines what treatment is best. If you have a torn up cartilage that is catching and locking the knee, arthroscopic surgery is...

In Hawaii we just 3 days of big south swell. Started Monday with Tuesday and Wednesday biggest days. Tapering off but still some left overs.

Aloha fb, Sorry to hear about your shoulder pain. The bursae is a fluid filled sac that acts like a cushion between your rotator cuff tendon and the overhanging bone (acromion). When the bursae gets over irritated, it becomes inflamed ->bursitis. Many things can cause shoulder pain, and a good evalu...

Thanks for posting eq.
Inspirational surfing. Something to aspire to.

Bud and Beth have shown us it is not the number of hands (or feet or your size or color) but rather the size and depth of your heart.

Thank you for posting smokin. (And thank you Brian B.)
What a beautiful tribute.
Brings some smiles amidst all the sadness.

Hawaii has lost one of her favorite sons.
All wave riders have lost a brother.
His family and friends on Kauai have lost their beloved.

Let's not take another day for granted. Hug your family and friends and tell them how much you love them. Share Aloha in A.I. name.
