I'm sure Kiyo won't mind me linking to his photos

He's got some other wipeouts, but I'll let him post those.

Is this you? in the RED

Close your left eye fellas

Classic, but in all seriousness, you should never have to jump off the kayak like that. I saw a few people using this method on tournament day.
Learn how to control your kayak in the surf zone and this will never be an issue. Take a class from me or take a class from someone else, but please take a class and learn the proper techniques, you will be much better off in the long run. If nothing else get some instruction off the internet and go out there with no gear and practice.

Here's some photos of the tournament day in La Jolla. Sorry for the quality in some of them as its a new camera and i'm not used to it.

The hands down best technique to surf land a Hobie is to steer it in with the rudder down, and drive unit locked securely in the drive well to power close to the shore.
--You use the bungie cord and hook to hold the peddles apart when you see the shallow water under the kayak.
Then step off and grab the stern.

Morgan at Blue Water Tackle is a Pro at this, and I have used this same technique since 06.

When I deviate from the above technique its a 50% chance I will get wet using the soft Hobie Paddle.
--------------------------
Regardless of how I choose to land, I always stow everything.

Those pix are awesome, hope Landwhale's hand is okay...that looks nasty! Looking at the pictures you would think it was 5 feet surf out there......but it wasn't. How many broken rods were there?
