When you hit a big breaking wave like that you want to lean forward as far as you can to help the yak pierce through the wave, and at the same time turn the paddle 90 degrees parallel to the yak. I try to take the last stroke to the right then put the left hand forward against the deck holding the paddle tight to the yak with my right hand back. The idea is you want your wieght foreward, present the least profile for your body to get hit, and have the paddle pointed into the wave so it pierces it like a spear.

If your upright like that with the paddle sideways and the wave catches the paddle it will either rip the paddle from your hand or knock you right off then kayak.

Good job on getting out and catching a few fish. That area is going to be closed if the MLPA goes through in it's current form, so hit it while you can.

I'd call that about 4' (the one in the photo), but still big heavy shorepound. Glad everyone is ok!

Frank has SIZE issues.

Ask him about a 5 inch sardine, he'll tell you it is a 12 inch MAC!

Jim

idea is
make a small profile
cut into the wave

as it is shown
ure making the biggest profile u can
to avoid getting your face wet

giving that wave a broad surface to push against

i say
get that face wet
lean into it
face first
low profile

also helps
to have your heavier stuff that u stowed
in the nose or ure yak
to help it stay down and cut into the wave

and
the opposite when u land
push the heavy stuff in as deep as u can
and as far away from the front as u can
and lean back

That is right on. You want the weight up foreward going out to keep your nose down and help cut through the waves, and the weight back on landing to keep your nose up and help you surf, if a wave catches up to you on the way in.

Good stuff, Jim
