launching

[taggermike]

There are lots of launches around but many depend on the surf size. Check surf reports and check the locations in person first, them try em out on flat days. Many beaches even have surf cams to give you a live check. As for a yard sale, bring only the gear you need, secure it all, and it won't happen. Lastly, get to know your kayak and how it handles in the surf. A bit of practice with out gear to worry about helps too. As you improve your surf launch/landing skills more spots will be available to you. Mike
