WOW! An adventure soon not to be forgotten.....

There can be a nasty little shore break there, and some sneaky outer sets too. So it is worth a couple extra minutes to see what is happening before you paddle in/out. Good story though.

Is the lady single? Sounds like a good mate for a surf launching yakker!

great maiden voyage & story !!

the surf LANDING still gets my adrenaline going EVERY TIME.

that sitting 100 yards out.... looking in at the dry beach.... wanting to have self & kayak on that beach....

but with the barrier of the waves & surf to get through, to make it to that beach.

one factor for me, is that I always stay out until dark, and that makes getting back in through the surf & waves even more exciting, when done in the dark.

very familiar story and a good ending at that, I myself have only a fey surf launches myself and happy to report good outcome in all cases. I must confess that I was trained on the launch and land by a real nice guy named Jim Sammons but still a bit skiddish on the landings...great job on the first launch and successful landing and fishy's to boot...be careful out there and tight lines....b
