Why you need to take our surf class

[Jim Sammons LJKF]

Not a Schmuk, actually a great guy, who made multiple mistakes on his first surf launch. Took me about 5 years to get this video footage from him, he was a bit embarrassed.
I have seen this and worse at LJ.

gotta say, although no big, that break would have ate most on the way in or out.

My daughter figured it right away "why did he go at the wrong time?"

Uh, Jim, he looks kinda like you, but in your younger days...

Is that in No Cal? Looks like Mendocino...

Like Ices daughter said, timing is everything...

Come on now, though this was about 5 years ago the guy is at least 12 years older then me.
PAL is correct on the location.

Props to the angler / victim for giving you the video to share. That was pretty kewl of him. He could have been hurt much worse!!! We learn from our mistakes...OR even better at a SURF CLINIC. I'd say its money very well spent. The waves don't have to be big to get destroyed.

Jim, are you going to the MLPA meeting on Tuesday?

[Jim Sammons LJKF]

I was thinking about it, carpooling would be the key. Can't afford the $200 in fuel to run up there myself in my truck.

Paul has asked me to join him at a meeting in the LA area in a few weeks, so I will this one.

Good video reminder of what not to do! Classes are always great! I have had my fair share of mistakes launching and more so landing in the surf. Practice and lessons are a good thing! I would like to come to one of your classes but since I can't make that one, when are the next ones scheduled?

Didn't mean to offend. I've lost a handheld gps, bait-catching rod, tackleboxes. Even once had the head unit from my GPS/FF combo tore off by a wave. A guy swimming out to his zodiac caught it and brought it back to me. I've been that schmuk a time or two.

A consummate fisherman as yourself a "smuck" no way.....

[Tman]

Just messin' with ya Jim....

I don't know what's worse, the brutal no-holds barred comments or the pounding he took.

My 2 favorites....

"His first mistake is leaving the beach and allowing himself to be videotaped.."

and your comment about the photog not keeping his camera on the guy getting worked vs. the guy running...good stuff...
