Help! I'm 76 years old and have surfed my entire life. I'm in pretty good shape for an old guy, but my right knee now hurts to the point that it slows down my pop-up, and I find myself frequently dropping in too late and riding the white water instead of the wave. Now I fully realize that diminished physicality and reaction times come with older age, but I think I still have enough juice to surf decently if I can move my knee a bit faster and with less pain. I've read that a well-made neoprene knee brace/sleeve (like from the Don Joy company) might stabilize my knee problem. Anybody out there have the same-type of knee issues and if so, what has worked for you to keep you going without looking like a complete kook?! Your input is appreciated. Thanks!
