Thanks for all the suggestions guys! And if anybody is going to head out Tuesday or Wednesday next week let me know.

Not fun and quickly tiring.
I lobstered in Mission Bay last year and a guy went over. He couldn't get back on his yak after trying a billion times (even with me helping) so he decided to swim back to shore. Imagine if he were outside? The shock and panic set in on him pretty quickly...

i rolled the yak and found righting it was rather easy. i go the the same route to get a jetski/waverunner back...climb on the yak while it's upside down reach for away from you, grab and slide back into water, body my weight(165#) flips it back over very easily.
