View Full Version : Surf Landing......
-Stay outside of the swells and watch the sets come in.
-When you find that lag time between sets and you've come to the point where you commit to the landing, haul ass like you're life depends on it.
-When your kayak has stopped moving get out as quickly as possible.
An example from our boating friends.......

one thing I would like to add is to secure and/or remove all loose lures especially ones with treble hooks before heading through the surf!

Or you can just wait until the surf diminishes and not worry about it.:dontknow:

i ussualy launch in front of my house on law st in pb which generally has more surf than LJ.
I find it easier to leave the rods unleashed, not stow anything, and make sure you nail it...much easier.
Bonus is when you catch a wave and you don't have to paddle in...:the_finger:

I would love to have a panga. Those things are built like tanks.

Be thankful for the relatively benign conditions at La Jolla.
Our counterparts in South Africa get to enjoy landings like this:
