How often do you have a 'yard sale'?

[GregAndrew]

I keep the front of my kayak pointed toward the beach, but my attention toward the oncoming swell/waves. If I am going to catch a wave big enough to pearl me, then I back paddle through it. Everything else can be handled by my paddle and or legs over the sides. For the really nasty stuff, I take my camera to the beach and wait for someone else to provide my $10,000 Americas Funniest Video entry.

Both of those, in my opinion, are must watches for anyone who is going to surf launch and land. Jim knows what he's talking about, and has been doing this longer than most of us, so listening to him is a very good idea.

Great videos! I just watched Jim's video and took a bunch of mental notes. Thanks for sharing.
