Not sketchy, looked like you handled it very well.

Nice to see someone else lashing their rods to the deck.
Nothing to make a bad thing 10x worse like breaking/losing a rod

True, it definitely felt sketchier at the time. But thanks! To be fair, I've only been in the kayak game for less than a year, so it's the sketchiest launch I've done so far. I'm sure there guys here with some stories of REAL sketchiness from over the years. It's funny how I can duckdive a surfboard in double-overhead surf and be fine, but sketched out in 3-4' on a kayak!

Nice work

. No sets, just constant rollers

So glad that was the launch and not the landing that day!

I thought the same thing! If the morning/afternoon conditions were switched, it would've been an entirely different ballgame...

True! Also, when surfing I don't typically have several thousand dollars worth of gear and electronics tied down to my surfboard either... But thanks, glad you got a kick out of the vid
