I used to only use the paddle both launching and landing.. and finally started using the fins.. Huge difference. I get about knee deep, and drop rudder and pedals in. You can really power out through the surf- and at that pace, its relatively easy to keep straight.
I have started using the pedals landing as well. Its especially helpful when the surf is up. Keep an eye on the timing of the sets. wait for your break, but also try to stay right behind the last wave of the set. With the drive, you can outpace incoming waves, and get into 3-4 feet of water pretty quickly if you then need to jump out and stabilize things. I love the speed of the turbo fins in these situations..
