Man George you sure can take a beating I am still tired from all that paddling on Saturday.

Those yaks are sure goin to take a beating on that rock wall, how they got up there in the first place is a mystery!!

Believe it or not, it was worse wind today, but it came in later. The beach area looked like a sand storm today. I knew I should have said something about using that extra seat pad as soon as I saw it (sorry Matt). Hope the fish helped nourish those tired muscles lol.

seat pads

i bought one of those
used it once

funny how less then a inch of padding
throws ure balance all off

edit..
sloshing bait tank water can be problematic too
tis why i dont use one
i always seem to come back late when the winds get bad

I think that my bait tank which we had to mickey mouse to fit was the culprit. It was placed way up high and the 5 gallons (40 pounds) acted like big weight going from side to side across a wave.

So, Matt. When is your new book due to be released?

Hey Frank,
saw your post, sorry to hear about getting caught in an off shore like that, and I can honestly say, "I know how you feel", "been there done that"...got caught in one of those about 3-4 years ago out of Oxnard, on my XFactor, that's why I have a Hobie now, I thought I was not gonna make it in, paddling in place for over an hour, didn't dare reach for the water bottle or I would be back 100 yards from where I just paddled, the president of CKF died that day, I know it can happen, so I got a Hobie shortly after that happened, and took it out, on purpose, with a 35 mph off shore to see how it worked...and you know what I ride now...it is a scary and frustrating deal to be caught out in winds like that, but honestly you would have been the last person I would have expected to have that happen to, I have seen your roost out the back of that XFactor..
As far as a sail, and fishing I agree it may be too much hassle, but Gman
Gerard does it, seems to work well in the wind, it just looks like an aweful lot of equipment...nice Hali BTW, :reel:
Matt didn't we tell you to wear your floaties when you go out?? lol

I could of made it back in probably an hour or two later, but Erick offered to help keep the blue beast in a straight line. Thank you Erick!!! I didn't have to push the limits on my guns of steal.Which meant if i needed to rest for a couple of secs i didn't have to regain 200-300 yards.

That wind was brutal, its not the first time i been caught in wind like that, but it was definetly the worst.

That San diego mission bay trip was easier compared to this wind.

This is why I HATE Cabrillo Beach with a passion, its not my first choice, its really my last choice...

I like fishing Malibu, Santa Monica, Marina because the wind comes in from the west, so after a long day of fishing the wind pushes me back to the landing spot. But cabrillo I ALWAYS!!! ALWAYS!!! have to fight that damn wind comming back. But as i always said... If i want to go to those special spots i have to pay the price.

I really like my X-factor, because i never had a hobie. So i can't miss what i never had. On the good side i do lose more calories paddling. Which is very good for me!!!

The verdict is out my wife likes halibut as her fav fish.
