Lol yeah man, I just came back from a trip up North and it seems like the waves grow a foot in size every 100-miles up on a NW swell. Much respect to anyone launching a kayak up there. You guys are gnarly!

See that a lot... raising the paddle over one's head while nosing thru the swells. It's a natural reaction, like you need to keep the paddle dry.

Best to dig into the water and keep paddling. You will punch thru the larger stuff that way as your body motion will be forward reaching for the next stroke.

GREAT Video!! Reminds me of lots of early am launches over the years.
