Strengthening the muscles around your knee

[Jack Beresford]

All,

Thanks again to everyone for the advice. I think I'm finally at that age where I can't just run down the hill to Blacks and jump in the water without stretching, etc.

Hopefully the injury turns out to be minor - my doctor doesn't think there's a tear but I'm probably going to get an MRI to be sure. For now, I've shut it down for surfing for the past two weeks (paddling only). We'll see how it feels next week before the contest. At least the surf hasn't been all that great (thus far).

Hopefully you're on the mend Jack

Seems that Tom Linn had a bum shoulder or something before the Worlds last year......and he went on to win the Grandmasters

So, I expect you'll be giving us all a run for our $ in O'side next month

watch out, it could be that he's just hustling now ...

Try an indo board. Indoboard.com. Emua.

Mike, I'll second that.I've got an Indo "all around" model with the round air bladder base and it works great.

Does anyone have any tips for strengthening the muscles around the knee?

yep... got the perfect therapy for you.

Start with trenching my sprinklers in the front yard. After about 120 linear feet, you want to move up to footings for planters. I'm thinking 18" deep, 12 " wide, and about 56 linear feet. The final step for rehab is bending rebar. You'll be 100% by June and ready to shred.

I can provide a perfect rehab environment for you. If you're interested, p.m. me.

happened to me at black surfing overhead on my standup. completed rotation with an off the lip and knee popped out at the end of the rotation.

Bike and swimming with only your legs or with a paddle board.
