I don't believe you will be attacked by anyone if you ask us for some help getting you launched. The biggest part is time your launch between wave sets. Have the paddle in one hand and your kayak pointed into the surf with the other. If you are not comfortable with the time, watch a few guys go first. I do like to get splashed a bit at the launch. Kind of wakes my a$$ up for the paddle out. I think the return can be more tricky than the launch. I would recommend looking at Jim Sammons video on youtube for some great techniques on the surf return.

Any how, just ask one of us, or watch what's going on.

Have a great time fishing.
