One = La Jolla Shores
I can't think of any other beaches where you can launch a boat (Baja excluded).

Heheh. Funny.

I'm not worried about your craftsmanship or materials, there's plenty of iron hulls with poured concrete out there. Go get 'em.

Maybe you should get your hands on a longtail motor.

Nice work! I need something like that T-top on my skiff!

KennyHill · 06-26-2009, 07:55 AM

That thing is crazy! I cant wait to see it when its finished and some on the water shots. Keep us updated on it... Goodluck

Looks cool Jim, I remember when you built that skiff a few years back. One of the coolest projects ever IMO. What's the weight estimation on the aluma-yak?

Where does he get such wonderful toys?

I've always liked bars.... Thanks for that info. I'm still working out the cockpit geometry and need to figure out the rudder before I jump on the footpegs but likely that is the route I will go. I'll know by tomorrow.

Andy wait until you see the scupper system I've worked out, I think your going to love it.

Escondido/BKR in Malibu still gets a bit of use as a boat launch.

We've also got Carpinteria Reef/Ash Street launch up here which is exactly the same as La Jolla...drive on the sand and launch motor boats and kayaks.

Even the waves are like La Jolla(The City used to call it the safest beach in CA.)
