I just know I walk extremely lightly out there and at East Beach. And actually, if possible, I never touch the bottom. Obviously when walking you can't walk on water.
The worse thing you can do, imo, is land on your feet if botching a jump.
Land on your butt in my advice.

Yep, to all Scott says.

he doesn't wear booties much either. Thing is I've prolly had many more minor scrapes and little cuts than anybody by not wearing booties cause I walk lightly and pull back on any sensation that doesn't feel like muck/ mud.
BUT, in all my years on the water, I have never had "The Big One" even close to once. I prefer alotta little ones to that.

Oh yeah , if you don't plane away from it always go for the butt landing as scott said. Not only can there be sharp things down there but you can also mess up or twist/ break your foot/ ankle/ knee big time by coming down in the shallows improperly.

Get Well Soon Jayson!
