Good morning

I will put out the word about your equipment . Let's see if we can get it back to its owner . We searched far and wide in deep water and never really came across anything . On the way back in I saw a few stragglers chasing bait and a few lone cruisers . Most of the action took place on the inside . Next Time.

Lots of traffic on the way home
No yellow for me
Meter some no hookup
Easy launch and landing
And a whale that popped about 20 feet from me will making bait

even if your timing is off , remember to keep your feet in kayak and keep it straight . Use you paddle to brace as needed . I am trying to make some phone calls to see if anything has turned up yet .

Monday was an interesting day... Seems like everyone and their grandma came out as the launch was packed..

Saw your buddy launched and for the life of me could not understand why he did what he did.. After jumping on the first time in about waist deep water he proceeds to stare at the wave and not start paddling as the wave ahead was building up only to have it hit him and turn him sideways thus falling off.. Had he paddled right away he would have made it..

Then with half his rods missing along with other items, not proceed to go back 10 feet and collect his gear he just lost.. Instead he just turns flips the kayak and tries once more... Luckily a gentleman ran out to help him grab the kayak and gave him a hand to relaunch with a push and some advise. Only to watch your buddy jump on stick both his feet in the water as he was paddling very slooowwllyy... Why would you stick your feet in the water while trying to launch past the surf break... The kayak he had was a nice one that handles surf launches better than most. He made it past the break with the help of Jesus i believe...

I have seen some dumb stuff but that day took the cake for me. Why didn't he spend another 2 minutes to drop his kayak on the beach and gab his gear? I hate to say this but he deserved what I saw and losing his gear. LJ is a great place to learn surf launching but it didn't appear he was prepared at all especially launching for first time with your rods up and not tied on..

Ahh good to hear.. Your my hero. Want to see you make it to 80 and still haven't eaten it!!

I'm same way now.. Way easier to jump out and grab the back and ride it in.. Works for me when I don't time it well.

As a buddy, did you give him any fair warning? Like dude strap your rods down especially if this is his first surf launch. I know my buddies told me the horror stories of donating gears on their 1st launch and it took me 3 tries later to get comfortable with surf launch.

Yeah... Kinda hard to hold back if you witnessed it.. Others watching had the same comments and just shook their heads.. Was hoping it's not a BWE member as their is plenty of info and help on here if you just ask... Took a kind stranger to help him launch as buddy had already took off..

Yea I saw him roll a bunch of times then just take off. I saw the rods get collected along with the mount they were in. Not sure why he took off with out them. The guy kept going out in waiste deep water and running parallel with the waves.

He must be a baller. Ballers don't worry about stuff left behind. They get new shite later.
