i was wondering if anyone has had to have surgery on a broken finger.  i broke my pinky and ring fingers and need surgery on the ring.  i am wondering what the recovery time is.  i hope i can just get a hard cast and ski like a week after but we will see

I got a bud that broke two fingers waterskiing, he had to have surgery on one of the two, I think it was his middle one.  he broke them in early june and didn't grip a handle to waterski again until late august..
good luck though bro

You should be able to ski this winter, just don't expect to use polls for a while.

bring your pole and have them mold the plaster to grip a pole....my buddy did it once it was pretty bad ass

I'd say just take it easy and go no poles. Or get the molded cast to the pole. I didn't know you could do that. Sounds like a good idea.

i broke my pinky and ring finger last season in whis, no surgery, just a splint but i was shredding the next day, on t3's mind you, just do no poles should be fine, landing jars your hands a little which can hurt like a bitch, just dont fall :)
