great maiden voyage & story !!
the surf LANDING still gets my adrenaline going EVERY TIME.
that sitting 100 yards out.... looking in at the dry beach.... wanting to have self & kayak on that beach....
but with the barrier of the waves & surf to get through, to make it to that beach.
one factor for me, is that I always stay out until dark, and that makes getting back in through the surf & waves even more exciting, when done in the dark.
