Surf launch rigging tips needed

I'm going to experiment launching my Revo 13 through the Seal Beach/Palos Verdes area surf.

I'll start with the boat naked to get a feel for it -- just me, the boat and paddle will be able to get loose and take a tumble.

Going forward . . . How do you suggest rigging the Mirage drive, other gear and even a scuba tank for the potential of a surf tumble?

Is it common to lock the drive in, peddles fixed up, with an add-on leash? Is this enogh, or, do you cam lock strap it into the cockpit with a strap all round the hull?

Same for stuff in the rear well . . . in any situation where the boat might rotate, is it feasible to simple just cam lock straps around the hull and gear to keep that stuff in solid?

'Even if it's a scuba tank in the well? Or do you mount a couple of tank straps in the floor of the back well for the tank?
