As Trolldirty says, you should keep the mirage drive available but use the bungy to make them retracted to the hull. In my experience, paddles work best when going in backwards. It is usually wet but much less wet than flipping when your yak turns sideways in the surf.

For the normal small surf at the launch, just time your dash to the shore using the peddles, (with the bungy) and have the paddle ready to lean on if you go sideways.

Most of us have flipped lots of times.
