Yeah I went out and practiced last saturday had a blast and rolled it more times then I can count but the extra confidence definitely helps and also proved to me that EVERYTHING needs to be tied down, and also your going to get soaked it's just part of the deal!

1st time out and your launching in the dark in some burly swell...do your massive testicles get in the way when you're paddling?

Well i dont know if im crazy or just dont know what i got comeing for me but im gonna go fishing either way. i got a 2 hour drive so im just gonna go and what happens happens. hopefully there will be someone else there thats as crazy as i am to go out. but however it ends up it should be some good practice, concidering i want to meet my cusin from montaray this summer and hit big sur with our kayaks and fish there so this shall be small compared to that. well atleast i think so.... he told me 5-10 swells are small up there.
Either way im packed allready and im heading out in the morning.

Well im back from my trip. Swells were sort of large but I dep't win them fine. Meet a guy at the launch he helped me out and gave me some pointers. I managed to make it out threw the surf without flipping

but comeing back in was another story haha flipped in 2 feet of water. But it was fun I caught some bass and some greenies. Looking forward to my next trip whenever that is
