this one probably suits you best...
or were you planing to give it as a gift to cauncy....?

I haven't found one that stops inward rolling movement so have been strapping with rigid strapping tape prior to each session for 6 months now. Massive PITA but keeps me out there and problem not getting worse.

yep, the last flair up (just recently) strapping settled it down. But I just want something to put on when I feel it starting to go. Just walking on uneven ground for a while can cause it to go.

Mine problem is outside inversion, not rolling inwards.

Steve the ankle will hurt whether I'm surfing, boosting or foiling.

I have some ankle braces but I'm wondering if someone knows of a really good one they have come across.

its more of a maintenance thing. If the ankle goes, its strapping time for sure. anyhow, thought i'd put it out there.

Any physio's roaming about on here?

...on a side note. Watched two lads foil surfing the other day...damn that looks fun!! 3-400m rides on a wave you'd barely even catch normally.

I've found the ASO ankle brace pretty supportive. Has inserts for rigidity with 2 straps L2R, R2L plus lace up. Local stockist is in Balcatta.

Stem cell treatment, 5k, do a course of HGH at the same time and you'll have joints like a teenager again. Same price as a new quiver to have new ankles.

Hey Eppo
I have similar but both ankles have rolled in.Fallen arches bloody painful.Swollen sore after a good session ,or on my feet doing stuff for long periods.
Hate getting old body breaks down.Hips,,knees now ankles.
Two osteo pano before each session.Bit of relief.
ASO ankle brace looks the goods.
Good luck with it.

Hgh sounds like the most reasonable way forward. Do a cycle of injectable testosterone at the same time for added benefits.
There maybe some complications immediatley when you stop dosing or when your wife finds out but fuq it hey.

Seriously eppo
kallassey braces were sworn by when I boxed, also used by tennis players for rapid change of direction, pretty sure Michael Chang used them , don joy make ankle braces also, support diminishes muscle growth / support strength( maybe that's why my missus buys me very supportive jocks) speak with chiro trev big t , or speak with a good physio on a regime, don't take one view

Try riding in BOOTS.

I rode Boots after an ankle surgery without any issue, great support and comfort.

Yep sci I have considered that. Thanks.

Looks like I have some homework to do ...

thankyou everyone.

Not sure if it is the best for your Lesotho - Venom Ankle Brace. I used this Ankle Brace during the recovery period, except that I couldn't get into the shoes, everything was fine. Bodyprox allows you to wear shoes.

Expensive but the only way to stop extreme movement in the directions YOUR ankle needs:

Bandage.
Duct tape over.

Yes you need to cut it off after and it costs a lot in bandages but if so make your own strips from muslin (?) from Spotlight. You need the bandage to stop the skin loss

This is the only way I've found to make an ankle bulletproof, and holds up to the water etc.

Now my left knee is fcked. Will need a full body cast soon .... visiting the physio Friday morning and gonna be taping up the body ... Exmouth lads

This what I did when I wanted to kite/wakeboard following an ankle injury. I found the relativley non-intrusive ankle braces weren't supportive enough and sports tape just fell off, so went the duct tape option.
From memory lightly adhesive sports tape under figure 8s of duct tape. The muslin cloth underlayer is a good idea though.

Is this for real ? Who do you see for this type of treatment ?

+ 1 for this and I researched eg sh1t out of them..I find taking the inserts out can soften it a little bit as it does rub on the ankle bone. I've got a plate and screws in there which rub a little - however I've just had them taken out (today!) so the rub may not be as severe now.

on another note, I also had my meniscus repaired today, anybody got recommendation for a relevant knee support? Don't want a cage type thing, usually just wear a compression sleeve but any other ideas??
