Yesterday was Andrea's first day back on the water after ACL surgery and 6 months of intensive rehab. Needless to say she was stoked! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/719073.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/719074.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/719075.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/719076.jpg" alt="Upload">

Congrats Andrea!

Glad to see you're back out there girlie! Can't wait to ride with you soon!

glad to have you back chick!!!

Boooyah! That's awesome Andrea, Congrats!

Thanks everyone, stoked to be back! I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about my stupid knee, so hopefully this is the end of it.

Yay Andrea!! So, I'm dying to know, how did the knee feel????

It felt great. I didn't push it hard at all, so it's not sore at all today. <BR> <BR>I took a second set later and was able to do ollie 180's in the flats and jump to the middle of the wake with no pain. Simple pleasures!

Awesome Andrea! Congrats on the return. I remember the first set I took after coming back from my knee surgery in 04, pure bliss.

Congrats Andrea! <BR> <BR>-Uj

Schweet.... Good stuff, girl. Can't wait to see you killin' it later this summer.

is that a neoprene sleeve under the brace? <BR> <BR>I wonder if that would help keep mine in place a bit better?

Nice work!! If you want to ease back into it behind a sanger with a beginner's wake let us know....

PINK CTI. NICE! Send it over Ill put some LED's in that thing.

Trapper, that looks like the neoprene sleeve CTI gives with their braces. I cannot tell if she is wearing the AMS strap which replaces the natural padding in the lower portion of the brace with a neoprene wrap. IMHO the AMS strap is BOMB!!!! (FWIW I dont wear the sleeve underneath my brace) I put those on my brace(s) and cut the excess off so that when I tighten the portions together they overlap by maybe an inch. It REALLY helps my brace stay put a lot more AND takes the sting away from really tightening down that upper calf strap which is the most important in keeping the brace located on your knee properly.

Look at that smile!! Good work...

Good to see you back on the water. I'm sure I'll see you out there soon.

So happy for you Andrea!!

Welcome back Andrea!!!!!!

Glad to hear you are back on the water, you'll be killin' it in no time!!!!

Thats great news !
