Hobie landing...make sure drive and rudder out and locked, time the entry, lean into the wave if needed and side slip in, never exit on the beach side of the yak,
if it is sideways, and pull it up as fast as you can if there is a swell, Hobies are great but not the best surfers but you will get used to it, if it is a little sketchy on the launch or landing, stow everything that you can, it will cut down on the anxiety...basically think of it as a Tupperware bowl once the drive and rudder are up and compensate for it...hope that helps a little, but I am by no means an expert, lots of launches and landings and I still get dumped, and I have been at it for about 6-7 years, a surf lesson from one of the guys would help with your confidence...Jim Sammons has surf lessons when he is in town, that's who taught me...but even the best most experienced, get dumped every so often...it's just part of the deal....b
