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

La Jolla may have mild surf, but it probably takes the prize for total number of ill-fated surf landings and the greatest financial impact of any beach in the world.
I've had my share of pain and shame at La Jolla; however, I have never lost anything of significant value in my poorly planned and executed landings. Breakers Beach at NAS North Island was the site of my single costliest surf launch. I have also had a couple of incidents on Islander trips that have cost me dearly Some of our Aussie members might make an argument for the Mona Vale "sand monster" or a couple of other beaches in NSW and Queensland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxpKnw43FA From what I've seen, just about every beach in South Africa would classify as Sands of Sorrow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Q0Eip2L4A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb1EjjAE6vM

I have come to accept the fact that I will be getting wet during most surf launches.
I do know the Hobie Adventure will cut and punch through good sized surf but to expect a mouth full of water in the process. Its the swamping on the return that I worry about. I'm not complaining about our Jewel, LJ Shores is still the tamest surf on the coast. IMHO Last edited by Billy V; 09-25-2008 at 11:05 AM. |
