Back on the skis!:)

This week I finally had my first set on the water. After an ACL rupture in August 2012 I’ve been doing rehab all winter and still am. I miss skiing and I work very determined to get back into the women’s jump elite.

I will have to build everything back up again and the first month on the water will still be considered ”waterski rehab”. I’ll focus a lot on controlling the skis, lots of balance on one ski and basically just awareness. The new ACL in my knee still isn’t recovered as it takes approx one year to do so. For that reason it is important to be patient and not push anything too hard as it is still fragile even though my other bodyparts are back to a strong condition.

I live in Denmark and like all other Northern European contries these spring months are pretty cold. To other skiers skiing in the cold I’ll strongly recommand the comftable Stokes speedsuit. It really helps big time keeping me and my knee joint warm. Even though it’s super tight it’s easy to put on and I don’t even notice it on the water, thanks to the extremely stretchy material.

Bojan Shipner, competing in his 2nd world cup stop, placed 3rd in the mens jump event. Bojan put up distances close to 200ft in challenging conditions. We are pumped for Bojan after all the hard work he has put in recently.

Scot Ellis having come off a fantastic trip to Australia recently, placed 4th. Big props to Scot for pushing himself to the limits in every event.

Jacinta Carrol competing in the ladies jump event also placed well, finishing 1st with 48.9m. Look for Jacinta coming over to the states and competing in the 2013 US Masters.

June Fladborg eclipsed her own record by one buoy with 3@38off at the McCormicks spring opener.  A fantastic achievement for someone who has battled back from a serious injury.

We wish June well and congratulate her on her amazing achievement.
