No good Mac.
I had a grade 2 miniscus tear earlier this year in my right knee (back leg surfing). Surfing 3 weeks later with mild pain and although aches for about a month after that, 100% after 3 months.
Get out out there mate !
I had an hour long, one leg massage fk it hurt, in a brace and heaps of cream, hoping for a speedy recovery.
Surfed last Sunday with it, all was well until I twisted it and ouch it hurt, called it a day.
did that myself a month and a half ago doing a closeout on the bubblebee low tide. got away with it alright considering ive done it to the same knee 4 times now . twice on 666 surf sups trying to save a fall. doh.
not a lot of pain this time, but the knee is still stiff.
I think every surfer get these type of injuries.
as sa said work hard and get back into it.
youll adapt and its not that hard going on a mal.
cheers .
ps 6am is still alright with me
we just don't cut the mustard 
...banks no good ...
