ew wow
gonna look into that
thanks and fingers crossed

how I rolled...

coming in
There was some chop and slop with the following seas,
so I was zig sagging to avoid back swamping.
while zigging I started to track to the left until I got perpendicular to the swell.
To correct I dug in hard to the right, leaned a bit and at almost the same time got hit with a nice choppy wave.
I tried to correct by leaning to the other side but I was past the point of no return,
and in a went.
I had to laugh at the time
because it sure felt comical.

thanks,
me too

learned a few things...

always leash /clip your stuff if its not in your hands(I thought I knew this but I guess I forgot and or got complacent), or have a floaty attached

dont zig zag with following seas

be careful near the canyon

offers of help are greatly appreciated even if I think I can manage by myself
(because sometimes I cant), my buddies were already on the beach at the time

im prob gonna rig up a step/loop to hang from my handles
to be better able to get the yak back over when on the opposite side of the yak from the oncoming swell

the fishing/diving community Is fricken awesome
and
my pride almost kept me from posting this
which is foolish(the pride part)

THANKS MUCHO
