Tough crowd. I'm OK!

Yeah, the surf was big that day and I learned a lot.
When in doubt /you can't paddle out...STICK WITH GOLF.

As far as getting hurt...hell yes it hurts.
My ego is bruised and I still have sand in my crack. Thank gawd I have cat like reflexes...that could have ended bad that day!

Cooler looked empty. Could be because he drank all the beer before he launched. Or tried to.

was this really you? Where did this happen? I was landing my kayak in a fresh water lake the other day and stepped into a hole and immediately went from ankle deep water to waist deep and falling backwards dragging the kayak with me. It happens fast in water, and I was stone cold sober.

There are no bad launches or landings, just good opportunities to learn what not to do.
