11-25 LJ report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I had a similar experience with my last surf landing. I came in hot and beached it. As I stepped out and forward grabbing the bow handle to drag it ashore, a wave pushed my kayak sideways and into my legs almost knocking me over. I'm thinking that grabbing the stern handle after jumping out might be a good be a good idea. That way I'd have control of the point where the kayak would swing. Kinda like holding the bow while waiting for a gap in incomming sets during a launch. Or is there a better way?
