DUUUUDE. Nice catch!!!

Way to share the stoke. Awesome photos and write up

Also I’ve kind of come to love having a wave completely take the bow and cover me head to toe on launch...
Better than coffee some days.

I’ve found the more you do it, the more confidence you get, the less stressful it is. Always a little “pucker factor” but less dread more excitement

LJ waters were full of boats Sunday late afternoon. 'New Seaforth' reported 10 YT in the morning. Wonder whether there were more unreported YT catches that day...

Talking

Congrats on the first kayak Yellowtail. That first kayak Yellowtail, taste better than any you've pull in on a boat, because it involved more work on your part. Like mentioned above I love that bendo shot, cause you don't get to feel than power from a boat. No matter what the La Jolla surf forecast many times the surf is higher or has bigger sets when it's your turn to launch. I love the comment to your buddy, WTF! I have said that to myself many times when surf looks easy while setting up and when ready to launch they are twice the size. Yellowtail always look better on the deck of a kayak than on the deck of a boat. Love the shot in front of 1/2 day boat. Guys in boats always get a kick out of seeing a guy in a kayak land a nice Yellowtail. I always wondered if they are thinking how much they had to pay for the trip and tips as compared to the guy on the kayak not having had to pay and getting a little exercise to boot.

Of course there were. Gotta keep the secret. Don't want a million kayakers there or boaters.

Happy to share the stoke! It's the least I can do for you guys
And it's funny; I've surfed my whole life in a range of conditions and sizes. As we were getting ready to launch that morning watching how much bigger the waves were than last time and making ourselves more nervous, I looked at my buddy and said, "Dude, wtf! I've never been so sketched out by 2-3' surf in my life!" So we just laughed and went for it. The "pucker factor" is definitely real though... I had coffee in my dry bag too, so I was definitely awake!
