I don't believe you will be attacked by anyone if you ask us for some help getting you launched. The biggest part is time your launch between wave sets. Have the paddle in one hand and your kayak pointed into the surf with the other. If you are not comfortable with the time, watch a few guys go first. I do like to get splashed a bit at the launch. Kind of wakes my a$$ up for the paddle out. I think the return can be more tricky than the launch. I would recommend looking at Jim Sammons video on youtube for some great techniques on the surf return.

Any how, just ask one of us, or watch what's going on.

Have a great time fishing.

Despite the spelling errors, I'll bite.... google is your friend...BWE is your friend.....you can do your own research, or you can ask questions and try and reinvent the wheel. I started out new to everything and read and searched, read and searched. Any questions you have as a newb.....have been asked and answered. I launched my kayak for the first time in LJ, never really fished anywhere else and have never looked back. My advice, read the articles, make sure you know where you can start fishing, and learn it your way. Beginners luck will surely raise its ugly head and we will all quietly hate you.
