Kayaker rescue La Jolla - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I think one thing to remember when posting is that there is a range of experience on this forum and out on the water.

I was born and raised in S.D. and have surfed Blacks, Windansea and Garbage on a 9+ single fin. I also lived in Humboldt County and have launched in some pretty sketchy conditions both in the ocean and fast moving rivers.

That said, I would encourage anyone (newbies and experienced waterpeople) to start off in the bay or calmer waters for whatever time it takes to feel more comfortable and get your bearings. Even a seasoned veteran can get cocky or too drunk/high (if such a thing) and forget that Mother Nature is in charge.

As mentioned, there is always another day. Be safe.
