Surf Landing
Wish I had a fish to film...but put this surf landing together for my family and friends who are far, far away from the yakking thing...
I'm following Roby's advice: paddle strapped down, mirage drive in and rudder down with release in hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5fj984bsnk |

Nice Jim. Goes to show all the guys that say a Hobie can't be surfed. BTW you were about the only successful Hobie launch Sunday morning for the first several hours.

I use the peddles and rudder coming in, but in the larger surf I also have my paddle out to use as a brace in the event that I turn sideways.
Thanks for the post

Awesome landing Jim!! I can't take credit for the method. I learned it from the fellas at F*stlane. Just a reminder: make sure the mirage drive is bungeed in as well. I usually ride behind the waves, but your way looks alot more fun....
