Sands of Sorrow - Which launches eat the most gear? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Didn't Patrick have a great shot of a kayak endo at the shores from two winter's ago? I know he was waiting for me with camera in hand a time or two when the surf was up.

That was Tyler...

I only get the camera out when Art's in the surf

OK that's it... in my mind you two are now officially synonymous!!

Any exposed beach can be a nightmare.

Got shorebreak?

Or outside breakers

Endless rollers that could break any time:

The popular tourists at the shores?

Ahh the famous Lj Shore Catapult Maneuver

Normally pretty mellow, but sometimes Sano can be pretty challenging.

A little size at the launch.

I can't compete with those great photos, but my vote is for the most tame launch on the west coast (La Jolla Shores). Beside the tiny surf compared to launches anywhere else on the coast, we have way more fisherman launching here. I would love to know the dollar amount of expensive gear that's been burried here, as it's truly a goldmine. Countless Trinidads, Avets, Accurates, Toriums, Calstars, Seekers, and much much more. I know the less protected launches require more guts and skill, but I don't think you could compare any other launch for the total damage in a dollar amount.

And the whole time Clay was egging me on to go out further...

I know a couple of places that when it is at high tide with surf, all you can do is a Superman (jump off and hold onto the back handle of the yak)...
