I’m Eddie Wall, a former professional snowboarder. Snowboarding has been my career, but more importantly, it’s something I truly love and a big part of who I am.

I’ve had four surgeries on my left knee, with my most recent one in February. After going through multiple knee surgeries, I know how important it is to take care of my body and stay consistent with recovery.

I started using the XPOLAR X2 in September. It has been helpful not only during my recovery from knee surgery, but also around my PT sessions and before and after my snowboarding training. Since it’s portable, I can easily bring it with me when I’m training or heading out to snowboard. Having recovery with me wherever I go makes it easier to stay active and keep doing what I love.
