Hello,

that´s my second thread, because the first one was not very succesful.

a friend of mine (16 years old) had an wakeboard accident and lost his leg below knee. now he is wakeboarding again, but has some problems with the technic of his leg prosthesis.

i´m now searching for wakeboarders with leg prosthesis to help my friend.

some years ago there was an article in wakeboarding magazine about a group of wakeboarders with prosthesis.

maybe someone can search this issue and give me an email or any contact to them.

THX a lot!!

please email to reto@wakeboard1.de

greetings from germany

Another boat didnt see him after he falled down. The propeller hit his leg.

Reto, i'd try searching the old threads, I remember there was a post from a guy last summer from England who got into wakeboarding who had lost his leg I think, I couldn't find it but I know its out there, he may be a good contact, best of luck
