SHORE LAUNCHING AN OUTFITTER? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Prior to the Revolution I have now, I fished from the Hobie Outfitter. Launching it from La Jolla was extremely easy, I little wet at times, but with its width I never felt like it would flip. I have found that having the weight in the back made it easier to come in through the surf. You've got way less of a chance of the nose pearling. If you use a bait tank and put it in the empty from seat like I did; be sure to empty the water out of it before you come in.

If you look really closely you can see my Outfitter and I going through the surf. (If you even want to call that surf)
