Surf Landing......

-Stay outside of the swells and watch the sets come in.
-When you find that lag time between sets and you've come to the point where you commit to the landing, haul ass like you're life depends on it.
-When your kayak has stopped moving get out as quickly as possible.

An example from our boating friends.......

one thing I would like to add is to secure and/or remove all loose lures especially ones with treble hooks before heading through the surf!

Or you can just wait until the surf diminishes and not worry about it.

I find it easier to leave the rods unleashed, not stow anything, and make sure you nail it...much easier.

Bonus is when you catch a wave and you don't have to paddle in...

Be thankful for the relatively benign conditions at La Jolla.

Our counterparts in South Africa get to enjoy landings like this:
