sbsyncro,

Thanks for the report. Glad you did no get hurt or lose something major.

Did your friend lose any gear?

I agree with you about the paddle too. I keep my hobie paddle as a spare,
and bought a werner kalliste carbon paddle. Best $300 I spent besides the hobie.

Nope, he humiliated me by making a picture-perfect landing during a calmer set. I got nailed by a once-an-hour wind-swell wave that swept in. His landing looked like something from an instructional video on how to land a kayak in the surf. :-)

I am seriously considering the Revo-but what do you do with the rods on surf entry/exits? Leave 'em in the rod holders, or secure them where a paddle could be secured?

I really love my revo, but I can't seem to steer my revo without the rudder in the water. Last weekend I took my revo in the surf for the first time and found myself making donuts in the surfline trying to paddle out. Not exactly safe considering I got dumped going out and coming back in. Any advice guys? At the moment not feeling very safe in it, almost tempted to go back to my old scupper pro of 14 years. Let me know if you guys have any recommendations on adjustments.
