Lindsey Vonn left New York Fashion Week and, in classic fashion, immediately headed outdoors for an afternoon of activity and water sports. Though still recovering from a knee surgery that she underwent in July, the former professional alpine skier has been just as active as ever in recent weeks and months.

Vonn shared a series of photos to her Instagram on Sept. 20 from her latest outdoor adventure. She donned a fiery red triangle bikini for an afternoon of wakesurfing. In the post, she posed with her Red Bull-branded wakesurf board in hand and smiled into the distance.

“What started off as a great day ended in a giant jellyfish 🪼 sting/bite…,” she revealed in the caption of the post that she shared with her 2.2 million followers.

“I literally rode over it as I was getting up on the wake surf board 🤦🏼‍♀️ thanks to everyone who gave advice on remedies,” she continued. Think it’s gonna leave a mark for a while … 🤕 at least I caught some waves before!”

The rest of the carousel included a photo of Vonn surfing the waves from the boat as well as some close-up pics of her jellyfish sting. With now another injury to tend to in addition to her healing knee, it’s unclear whether we’ll see the 38-year-old partaking in other outdoor sports anytime soon. But with her track record, we’re sure it won’t be too long before she’s out adventuring again.
