I use to use leashes for everything. No I don't. I just leash my paddle cause that's kinda important.

That said, I have lost a pair of sunglasses from a flip.

I have lost one rod and reel, but that was due to a seal trying to capsize me to steal my catch.

Sadly, I think I'm most worried about my pride. We'll see what happens this weekend, heading out for round two, me vs. YT. I think I'll error on the side of caution and secure everything. If it goes over, I'm sure it will be much more entertaining than a normal yak, think catapult.....

Get over your pride and make a movie.

My 1st time ever doing a beach launch was also only my 2nd time ever on a kayak. ..4-5 foot surf not sure what I was thinking. Needless to say it ended very bad for me lost 2 rods and reels 3 tackle boxes and about 150 zipties. It was a learning experience and I always seem to learn the hard way.

That was ~~awesome~~ , ah..... I mean, horrible! I like how the cooler went back and forth with the tide as the yak was up on the beach, nice touch.

Oh fun stuff. I've managed to huli a couple times on my old Trident. I haven't lost anything significant at this point: Hats and irons. Lots of irons. Ug, now it's all coming back.

I made it a habit of stuffing all the rods in the kayak, which is something I like about the Cuda (and the tridents). Of course, I've managed to keep the Cuda right side up for the last year. Just need to keep to storing things right, but cause the time I don't, I'll find a way to turtle it....
