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!!!

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.

Just saw it on the news, the sink hole also ruptured gas lines running under the street there. The whole thing is tore up and dug out now...

Rebar or lack there of is no match for El Niño

Jorge, I cannot agree, this has been a RECURRING problem for YEARS!!!

dillpick · 01-07-2016, 05:44 PM

I guess the launch will need to be improved,hopefully something good will come of this mess in the end.

Based on the way the cement sits it shows that regardless of whether or not rebar was installed the underlayment or soil would have still been washed out. Would a installing a footing where the cement meets the beach have work? Possibly.

However, at the end of the day Mother Nature will win.

Here's the news report. Bummer.

True that.....

They could have made it out of rebar and it would matter if there wasn't any footing to support it. They are probably better off not having rebar. It will make the demo easier and faster to rebuild. Maybe if they put 15' of slurry and then poured on top???

makobob · 01-07-2016, 06:26 PM

If you properly install a foundation/footing and join it to the road with rebar it SHOULD eliminate this problem. What happens when rocks are dumped on a beach? Tie them all together into a solid foundation, pour your rebarred road and it will withstand almost anything.

jorluivil · 01-07-2016, 06:52 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if the city said, 'screw this road, let's put up a wall all the way across and people can walk their kayaks onto the beach'.

momo fish · 01-07-2016, 06:58 PM

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.
