Im just comming of a knee injury and have seen videos of some people rockin a brace while skating? Any ideas on a company that makes ones for water sports or does anyone ride with one now?

kawi979, Most of them are not bothered by water. Any knee brace will work. I rock one!

I have much experience with knee braces unfortunately Laughing

I use an Ossur CTI Custom. By far the best brace for watersports.

Thanks guys for the info, RC I think i have the OTS CTI brace and i didnt know if I could use that one for water sports or not. But the ossur looks like the way to go if I need to get a new brace. Thanks again for the replys!!

i've had 2 knee surgery's on the left knee. i'm now rocking a CTI and love it! my brace before that was EBI, both braces are custom. the CTI is far better although the other i got 8 years ago.

the custom CTI i think was around 1200 - 1500 thank god for insurance!

i've been wearing mine in the water for 2 season's now with no problems. but that was something i also asked about when getting the CTI, when they handed me the brochure there was a wakeboarder on the cover wearing one.
