X2 with Montesdad. I've dealt with the "Authority" mind set around there too. YOU CAN'T, oh wait maybe you can. At fisherman"s Cove I had an 18 year old, very young any way, life guard demanded to see my fishing license. I'm sure she had zero authority to do that but I figured if I refused she'd get on the radio to some one who did and have them grill me for a while. I paddled out at 1 foot Doho and after landing through the "pounding" ankle high waves I got a lecture from the life guard that I was unsafe and could have lost control of my kayak and injured some one. I even stayed as far to the jetty side and as far away from the surfers as possible and I still got the authority lecture. I had some real trouble keeping a civil tonge in my head. Mike
