LJ - HOOK UP!!!!!!

I considered doing the same because of where we landed but decided against it....Guess I guessed right.


There was some huge breakers this morning, Uno, Dos, Tres paddle you arse off!!!!

I tried my landing technique again...............once I got close to where the waves were cresting I turned the yak around and paddled backwards while I watched what was about to come next. Took two waves slightly over the bow with no consequences, landed, exited the yak and starting pulling her out of the water.

Lots of yaks got flipped today....and I'm not talkin-bout rentals.

You did the right thing. I see too many kayakers try to surf and land.
Once you figure out that your trying to land and not surf, you will never
flip again.

absolutely - even fishing from a surfboard, when coming in, land it, don't surf it! you'll save all your gear.
