The water inside the yak is likely from your flush mounts which is minimal....there are ways to seal those. Unless you have hatches open...you'll definitely get water in. Some hatch seals on malibus are not super water tight as well. Regardless with constant forward head on momentum you'll make it everytime. Hesitate, don't commit, the wave will pull you back and sideways along with being at the mercy of white water. The only problem you should have is the wave knocking your fish finder off mount...if surf is big just connect btb. Assuming you have everything tied down.
There was no plowing through that one. there was a lot of backwash, I wasn't getting any speed forward. The water movement put me dead in the water and the sets behind it were bigger and further out. It was time to abandon ship and try again.

He he, its almost like people think CL is the only place we have. Everyone can come on down you will be a day late and a buck short. This report is pretty old.
