Sands of Sorrow - Which launches eat the most gear?
It's not a matter of if but when Neptune will demand his due. On the paddle out but more often on the dicey dance in, the old man with the trident in hand requires periodic tribute. Where are his tolls on tackle, fish, and most of all pride the steepest?
Where are the Sands of Sorrow? Any beach can be a bastard, but which common (although advanced) launches cause the most havoc? I'm looking for stories and photos for a future newspaper or magazine article. For starters, here in the southland I hear certain beaches below Ensenada are legendary for giving up big game riches - and the rough ride back in. Up in Malibu, County Line's chewed up and spit out more than its share. What your take? |

Big Rock in La Jolla. I have launched there with ankle slappers and paddled back in to 3' shorebreak. I destroyed my rudder one time and numerous times had to dive back in and retrieve other items. I have a couple of pictures too if you need them.

Definately Ave de la playa, at times, I am required to pick up my float tube, and step over a wave.
 No me gusta!  Fro

 Aliso is the real deal! Aliso is about the only place I know that can destroy a kayak and everything on/in it! Heavy joint tweaking is possible here too. Ditch the kayak and save yourself is par for the course! This is a HEAVY shore pound beach! There is no shame in just saying NO when its thumpin!

You don't want to get caught going out or coming in by one of these. Bare-sand bone cruncher!

Another good Baja shot, Chris trying to land. No gear lost though...
