Second this one, and also Farback's note about PFD capacity...

Other things to consider:
What would the ramifications of getting the cast wet be?
How are you going to re-enter if you capsize (or is your roll absolutely bomb-proof?)

If a wet cast isn't an issue, try it at a pool first, as the cast may affect your roll more than expected.

Personally, I'd wait at least 4 weeks before doing ANYTHING that might prevent the bones stitching back together, as you don't want to have to have it broken again later in order to fix it. Foot bones are hard to isolate, too.
