I know I should just go down and practice landing but it's a long way to drive to not get to fish in the process.

Hey Harry I see a lot of guys going out of Oceanside harbor that way you can just launch from the dock..as for the beach landing it's an art if you haven't tryed this technique yet you can just turn sideways let the white water hit you and then stick your paddle in the white water for stability there's some really good videos on youtube about beach landing.

Yes good vid. What to got me was a little bitty wave in the whitewater, indecision was my downfall. I could have jumped out, or done the move in the vid of bracing into the incoming wave. I have done that with bigger on the way in, but the sneaky buggers snuck up on me got me in the wash this time!
