It should work fine for surf launching as it locks into position. Also it will elevate your electronics so that they do not get as wet as often. Pretty cool deal.

I guess it would be okay in small surf. I was just thinking it could be a problem in big surf. Would be great in the bays or otherwise. How much does it weigh?

The weight depends on how much stuff you mount on it and put inside, of course, but it should be very light before adding anything to it. It is rotomolded plastic and hollow inside.

Word from Malibu Kayaks is that it should be available in 1-2 months. OEX should have it as soon as it's available. That's all the info I've got, so stay tuned.
