PA or Zodiac? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

BWE familia,

Got a little issue here. A friend of mine is in a little pickle.. Here's what he has to say:

" The problem I have is launching on exposed beach breaks near my house where we often get short period sets in the 2’ to 4’ range. Despite what my buddy told me, it DOES NOT launch well in these conditions. Never had a problem when there’s a break between sets but that’s not always the case, I want to go no matter what the conditions are!!!

I don’t know, I’m having a lot of mixed thoughts about it and ’m not 100% convinced on selling it but probably would for a decent offer. I’m starting to think a Zodiac / inflatable might be better suited for my intended use. What do you think? Do you think there’s a fishing kayak out there that would handle my surf conditions better or is that just too much to ask a kayak loaded with gear to handle? "

Ok guys, what do you think? Being a REVO guy my self, I suggested give the REVO a try. Any suggestions out there.
