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

momo fish · 09-17-2014, 10:39 AM

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.

Shit....you guys are just a bunch of regular surf hero's ! Hey momo...are you another one of those 99.99999 percenter's?

I urge you to go to county on a decent surf day, take that gopro and film yourself and your technique.....by the way didn't you have a I almost died story coming in thru the surf just recently?

Bottom line is we all roll every once and awhile, whether we choose to admit it or not. Contrary to popular belief I do make it in without rolling most of the time. We all have different styles and preferences, there is no 1 right way of doing it. I just choose to show you guys when it all goes wrong.

That video is freaking awesome, love it! !

Here's my pic from 2006 TQ, Iraq. We knew Chuck was coming to take a picture with each platoon in our company, so i made this sign with some scrap wood, spray paint, and red reflective tape.

Appears someone from my platoon posted it online. Can't see my face, since I'm on the seven ton holding my sign.
