If he has patellar tendonitis,  it's one of those things that tends to get better with rest for sure, but sometimes it just gets better even without rest..and sometimes it doesn't get better with rest.   Essentially, the patellar attachment to the tibial tuberosity can be irritated from activities such as jumping or more classically surfing (its called surfer's knee after all).  The tendon fibers cause micro-trauma to the tuberosity where it attaches during knee extension exercises, be they static (surfing with knee flexed) or active (jumping which is a knee extension action).  Now for most people, it doesnt get to the point of debilitation, but everyone is different.

i can for sure say this isn't necessarily one of those chronic knee conditions like chondromalacia or osteochondritis where he's doomed to have chronic issues..it could get better tomorrow and never come back.

Quad strengthening should help take stress off as well.
