Thanks in advance for the help.

I've read many posts where people are out there in Mini X, Cobra Exploreres, and other Kayaks about the same size. If you have never surf launched before I would go take some trial runs launching and landing before you go all the way out.

The 100 is fine to go out there but it is not going to be as efficient as a boat 12+ feet in length. This means that you are going to work a lot harder to get where your going, especially if the wind or current is strong.
