Hobie Pro Angler Question

[toby]

Hey guys!

Wanted to let you know what I learned today launching through the surf. Heading out was not a problem just paddle hard and fast. The Pro Angler is a little difficult due to it's width. I practice in an empty yak today.

1) Secure all items and tie down lines.

2) Take time to read the surf: be patient. I came in a little to soon, got sideways and pitched out of the yak. The boat landed on top of me, I came up for a quick breath and then more white water over me.

3) I didn't tie down my drive as suggested in this post. Big mistake! I think my leg got tangled in the drive leash. I was waiting for the boat to wash over me. Well it didn't. Tired of waiting, I stood up. And things were cool except my pride in front of all the kayak classes.

Wasn't to bad:

Hope I didn't bore you guys that know what you're doing. This was just for new guys like me.

Hope it helps
