Today I'm officially an idiot.
I came in when the ocean is a little bit rough, so putting the mono in beach entry is already as hard as it is without the wave sweeping you. Visibility was poor, so I just did several hundred yards buoy swim at 10-12ft-ish before coming on shore.
When coming back to shore, since visibility was pretty poor with the surfs raging, I couldn't really tell how deep it was. Usually I take the fin off about 3-4 ft deep so I can stand but I still can maneuver a bit. But to my surprise while undulating my knees were already hitting the sands. Just before I taking off the fin, two rapid successive waves hit me and with monofin not getting the force uniformly, my left ankle got twisted a little sideways (no, it's not like it snapped but it still hurt a little to walk).
Anyone have suggestions how to tend to this type of injury?
Thanks!
