Thanks guys! I still longboard but sitting in the yak will be different from in the water. I'm sure I will have more questions later as I get deeper into it. Appreciate the help! Robert

Surf launching you will likely wear breathable waders. Buy some chaep booties or even sandals/ crocks to wear while walking at the launch to protect the feet of the waders from damage.

Launching in the harbor you can wear shorts or some pants for protection from the sun.

As far as tops, surf launch get a water proof top, does notneed to be expensive, just to protect the layers under from being wet.


Many people usually shed layers of clothing once the sun comes up.


Cotton is usually not the best choice for under layers or socks as it does not perform well in wet conditions.

Dana is a very popular spot, post up when you go and you will make friends.

I also have an outback. Spend the coin to buy the Hobie tank (its pricey) but well worth it. I went the DIY route only t end up buying the Hobie tank later.


Tight lines, post up.
