My problems my knees - they only allow me 1/2 day of full on

holiday is planned for NZ next August so plenty of time to get them
seen to!)



Good luck. I know a particularly attractive seasonaire who'll be in
NZ in August.

Is boarding harder or easier on the knees do you think?

Tendonitis in my knee made me stop playing football a few years ago
and it flares up if I do much running, but to my eternal joy and
amazement it doesn't seem to mind skiing at all. Phew.


If that's the same thing as Cyclist's knee, then yes I suffer too.
Used to often go cycling 100+ miles a day, apparently I overused my
knees. It does cause problems at times on long walks, but like you it
never causes a problem skiing.

I only tried snowboarding twice, in the days before soft boot. But the
second time my knees didn't like it. Maybe Cupra should switch to
skiing?

I skied for 10 years before boarding - boarding (was) far easier on my knees
until recently!
