"Launched" early 4am... and a waay outside pair of waves flipped me end over end,  after I thought I had cleared the surf zone. Glad i was wearing PFD, the set was easily 8-10ft! I have never had that happen before  . Climbed back aboard with nothing amiss but my dignity, and soggily headed to the pier, with a pile of leashed goods in my lap and just happy that no one caught that on tape! |
Regor, note Handymansd's original post. He was referring to the launch area.
