Suggestions for first time in the salt? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My first time out was Pescado beach in OB. There were big waves coming in and I flipped over four times on the way out! Had a good time at the point Loma kelp, then when I came in the waves had picked up. The surfers out there past the break were looking at me like I was crazy and telling me I'd never make it. I timed the sets and went for it. Came in like a pro. Actually, some guy there asked me if I was a pro and that he'd never made it in at that beach without flipping. I told him he should have seen me going out. It was such a fiasco that a girl brought out a lawn chair, sat down and laughed at me the whole time. The guy helped me carry my yak to the car. Overall, I'd say get your feet wet. But be safe.
