when I landed last time it was pitch black and about 9pm.A huge wave broke over the back of the kayak and propelled me towards the sand at breakneck speed.I chant to myself "OPPOSITE,OPPOSITE,OPPOSITE"as in dip that paddle opposit of the direction the bow is going to straighten yourself out.Also helps to have weight in the back.leave the water in your BT.
