I think you mean May 1st and not April 1st correct?

Just be safe out there. Maybe you can hook up with someone that is launching at the same time and hang with them. Make sure you have all your safety equipment before leaving land (read Bigbarrels post). Strap down all your gear so you won't lose any of it. I lost my gaft, a knife and also killed a camera (even though it was in a bag it got water in it). It's also a good idea to know your limitations out there. Even though the surf last Saturday was only 1-2 with a few 3 footers, I took 2 waves to the chest on the way out and landing was a little wet for me as I rolled it just before the shore.

I'm planning on practicing launching and landing (without all my fishing gear) a few more times before I get back out (most likely weekends).
