there is a bloke a few shacks down from us - he had both knees done 2 years back. Doesn't barefoot anymore, still slaloms (not as hard) surfs and boards from what I have seen - no huge tricks, just fun.
I have 9 pins and 3 bolts in my knee post a bone graft 15 odd years ago, at last clean-up dr said next time it hurts its a new knee - it aches more than hurts but I have avoided the new knee by not going to dr. I will be getting a brace this year to give myself another year or so.
