I sprained my knee a few weeks ago while wakeboarding but it seems to be healing ok....I tried to search to see if anyone else is skating while the knee heals. I figure I'll just get out and carve and not try anything too stupid. Anyone have experience in this?

had four knee surgeries.....two acls, one last summer, been wakeskating again, since April, blah blah blah, just take it easy, I even skated a few times while the acl was torn and it is fine as long as you aren't like launching or anything. you could get a brace but it will cost you a grand at least to get one that is worth a crap for wakeboarding. Believe me, there are a couple of mine in the bottom of Lake Travis. If you really just "sprained" your knee, you'll be fine, just take it easy for a while.
