Does everyone pedal?

I've never paddled a trident, but just from having a prowler i think a rudder would be really good to have. You can always pull it up if you you're not going far or playing in shallow surf.

That's right, you can actually play and have fun in the surf... side slips, cut backs, pulling out the back, you can even get barreled like this

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but my trident 13 doesn't seem like something I'd want to "play" in the surf with and as I understand it, it's one of the better boats for the waves. This is coming from an experienced surfer too.

Really I love surfing my yaks in some nice surf. San O is one of my favorite spots for it too,
Of course all my gear is back on the beach or below deck before I start 🏄

After a fishing trip one day.... Unpack all your gear except paddle and seat. Strip down to your boardies, and let her rip. You'd be shocked at the waves you can make. Dog-patch is perfect for kayak surfing. Turmo is good too. Most important is learning to brace properly.

It truly is awesome the waves you can get on a kayak

Nah, you can't surf a Trident 13, but a 15? Check out this from about 1:50 on.
