Pro Angler 17T Surf Launching and Landing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just launch normally about knee high and paddle out, (former PA14 owner), get past the surf zone and throw in your mirage drive and drop the rudder. Going in, I never actually peddle all way to the sand, I'd jump out at about waist deep and guide the kayak in. Normally I'd prep the gears and tied down, pull the mirage drive and the rudder up before paddling in. Just spend some time gauging the wave and race your way in, jump out, guide it. I think that's safer. I seen someone with the PA17 launch and land similar way.
