I had a pucker factor of about 8 coming back in. I sat out beyond the breakers getting my timing down for about 15 min. Then just said fahq it and went for it. I bailed at chest level and did the 40yd body (kayak) drag in record time. The previous day's forecast for yesterday was Bull Sheeeeet.

Thats the way to land it.

Whatever it says you have to do to return through the surf - you do.

That includes swimming it in.

I was out in a skiff yesterday and saw some big mixed up swell.

Stow it all and you'll never flip.
But if you try to cut a corner even once - you will get crushed.
