Please expound....the only thing I can think of is if the tail digs into the sand as the front gets lifted by a wave....I guess that could get ugly, but it was pretty rough for LJ both Sunday and Wednesday, and I was fine. I'm not to keen on going out in bigger waves, but I know that things an change in the hours on the water. The only time I've crashed was coming in forward, got turned sideways, leaned into it and dug in my paddle, and the wave landed on top of me and washed that kayak right from under my butt.
