To promote the hobby it's not a good idea to take a friend to surf launch on their first fishing trip. I made the mistake last year in lj. My father in law was excited to try this kayak fishin out, the waves were a bit large for lj at about 3 ft. Bout chest high. He rolled 5 or 6 times on the launch and a big whipeout on the landing. Pluss big swell out on the water. He didn't have a good time. We went to the harbor the next week and he had a better time with smooth water catching sandies. He was really timid about going out after lj. I know I didn't surf launch for about 3 months after I had a kayak. Bottom line, there are a lot of great calm water launches between oc and Sd county that hold great fish to force someone into something that is very easy for you with dozens or hundreds of big surf launches. Just my 2¢.
