Landing Sequence - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

OMG!! I actually agree with Danny, who would have thought.

I like to build up speed parallel to the waves as I watch them build and then aim the kayak towards the back of the wave. Once I feel like I'm close enough I turn the rudder quickly and ride the back of wave in. This way I have already build up speed and I'm watching the waves from the side instead of the back. Once in the white wash I would pull the rudder up and jump out in 3-4 feet of water and hold kayak up not to damage the drive.

Now my success rate has been great making it in but still make silly mistakes like forgetting to pull rudder or like last week thinking I'm in 2 feet when really I was at 6 feet.
