Anyone damaged an ankle before on a wave? I stretched and pinched both sides of one ankle at canton 2 - 3 months ago and am trying to get over it. How long does it take before it gets better? It's killing me, not being in the water.

Tough luck.

Yeah I have done an ankle playing touch footy many years ago. Took me almost 3 months before it started to feel any good, but was still iffy for a while after that. Years later it is now good enough to do most things windsurfing. A slow heal I'm sorry to say.

Have you tried a visit to a good Sports and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist - These guys can really accelerate your recovery, not cheap if your healthcare provider doesn't cover it, but you have to ask yourself "what am I prepared to pay to avoid losing that time on the water".
