Surf Launching and Landing a Hobie

[herbo]

Is it always like that or was it just a fluke? looks like a great place to launch
especially since I'm somewhat gimpish from a total knee replacement and the other one is going to get done real soon.....H

This just confirms that with a lot of time on the water snd much practice regular people can survive the punishing ocean.


Glad you had everything strapped down.

That is called MAD skills...

He is an expert on dealing with the various conditions Lake LJ has to offer...

Did you notice how he didn't even bother to go for his paddle?

That, my friend, is confidence...I too have been out at Lake LJ, and if it wasn't for the waves, I would've had to paddle in...timing is everything...

He is an expert...

I'm one of the "apprehensive ones" about "my first surf launch/landing". I had plans to go with my buddy Ken to LJ today. I made the mistake of looking at the surf forcast which said, 2-4' with an occasional 6-7'. So instead, I went to SD bay for halibut. Caught one about 19", and one sand bass.

I had bigger wakes I had to jump today in the bay than what was in LJ today. I guess the bottom line of the story is, I need to just go to LJ and DO IT! Thanks for the tutorial. I WILL make good by my New Years resolution to catch a YT and or WSB on my kayak this year. See you soon at LJ, come hell or high water!

Go for it. Next weekend should be light surf. It is time to practice if you want to be ready for WSB season.
