i camp at San Elijho many times during the year...my advice?
take wavsters advice...
stow and or leash everthing you want to keep!!

wifes first time on a yak?, no experience thru surf?
you might want to try no rods and reels first
just play in the surf, get a feel for the yaks
also pick you spot coming in carefully...lots of drop offs between those rocks, ouch
was there about a month ago and a guy in a fish and dive missed timed everything, i have never seen a yak pearl that bad, he went completely verticle, and just before the giant forward flip he came slamming back down (upon closer inspection he had some huge homemade outriggers, that saved his azz)
have a blast, share your adventure when you get home

p.s dana point is about 45-50 minutes up the road and is an easy launch from inside or launching at doheny state beach
