Launch - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jimmyz123 · 01-07-2016, 11:22 AM

Is this the street right where the sand to the launch and the street meet up?

anchovie · 01-07-2016, 11:37 AM

Yes it is. Wow!!!

Where is the rebar? What no footing?

Wow, no kidding. Looks like they poured it straight over the sand.

Whoever signed off on that is probably looking for a new job today.

They have been coming up with wrong solutions for the end of the street for as long as i have been kayaking. I think it is a job requirement.

Lol. Can't wait to see the creative launch spots now!!

Kayak tours seems to be a pretty big tourist draw for the area.. Not sure if they would restrict their access by not rebuilding...

This should not stop anyone from going to LJ to fish.. Especially how far some are willing to drive.

Saw a glimpse of it on world news! I'm thinking a raised concrete berm would keep the sea out.

YakDout · 01-07-2016, 07:13 PM

Take your wheels, park at the park, and launch right in front. About just as easy, and surf..?? In la jolla??? Ya maybe mavericks, there is no surf in la jolla.

If I didn't know any better I'd say it was a box culvert in the desert that got flooded out.

But it's not. Lol!

Thinking back to high school in the late 60s, I think this is the 5th time it's been beat by the weather.

Last week after one of the latest King Tides the drop to the sand at the end of the road was 15" to 24" and solid concrete. I guess that it was only that thick at the end for a short distance. Once the waves got under that, it was easy to undermine the street where the concrete is not as thick, as witnessed in the pictures. I think it would be hard to make any kind of end that would not break, unless it was 10' deep into the sand and had multiple footing that deep running a good 50' up the street about 4' apart and then the street on top, with concrete about 20" thick. The answer is "that's not going to happen". They will just fill it in and it will last till the next crazy king tide storm that happen every few years.

My cousin Felipe said that him and his two two compadres can have new concrete laid by Sunday, he also said he'd guarantee the work for at 5years.

Cost: 36 pack of budweiser

Pour a couple dump truck loads of sand on top, pack it down, and your good to go. Just repeat after every storm. So the sand starts 40' closer than it used to.

That's pretty much how they could fix it and not keep having repeated problems. Just take out the concrete on 1/3 of the block, just keep the side walks and the sand would not get washed away and it would be easier to just regrade the sand after bad storms, because it would not have washed it all away.

That will work if this is the smallest storm we're expecting. However, if the storms get any bigger I'm sure it won't be the street they'll have to worry about

Than we would be launching from the monument at top of Mount Soledad, then again if the water was that high. It would be Soledad Island we would be visiting or more correctly " Isla Soledad".
