PA14 here...

Going out I attach the mirage drive bungee to the pedals, it keeps them flat against the hull, hop in and pedal out leaving the bungee on until deeper water.

No problem with storage on a PA...

Coming in I attach the bungee again and pedal as fast as I can, when getting close I either coats in letting the bungee keep the blades up to the hull or jump out.

My style of launch and land:

Rudder(s) up, pedal in, use paddle to steer (like a rudder), and use pedal to haul ass out of the surf zone. Drop rudder down as soon as you pass the surf zone.

Kinda the same thing for coming in... Rudder(s) up, pedal in, paddle in hand to steer and go backwards in case of a big wave (going backwards helps me not catch a wave). Like Tony said, peddle is faster to come in between surf sets.
