I know the less protected launches require more guts and skill, but I don't think you could compare any other launch for the total damage in a dollar amount.

What he said - we have all seen a ton of gear lost there. And I think it has to do with the short interval waves as much as the typical inexperience of the average angler who cuts their teeth at the shores.
