This is how you do it and I'm not joking.

Get the boat past the shorebreak, jump in the boat.  Look for a lull in between wave sets if there is one and paddle like hell until you get through!  Tie all your stuff down and put your rods down or inside the yak so they don't break off on the bottom if you go over.  Getting back in is the harder part.  If you have a shorter boat it is easier, you can surf it in, my Tarpon 160 was scary coming in.  I had to backpaddle when a wave came bc the boat didn't surf well.  I had an 11' Ocean Kayak Caper before that and that thing rode a wave like a surfboard so it was easy.

I'm going to Sandbridge about 3pm to practice. I'll let you know how it goes. If anyone else sees this and wants to join in on the fun, come on out. I'm gonna get on it!

I've been doing lots of surf launches here lately and done lots of practicing with an empty yak. I have a 14 fter and once its loaded with gear and a fair amount of water in the hull after a good day offfshore prepare to be flipped!!! I was fine surfing waves and doing all that with an empty yak no problems. What ever you do avoid "surfing" the waves in and try to follow behind the last wave in a set and paddle like HELL! Becareful...the surf will consume you!

yeah i do alright...heres one from saturaday, 40 lb cobe, there everywhere out there u just have to put in lots of hardwork and persistence and u may find one.

jay, just that lite rod and a simple boga grip and he was in the boat ....yeah right theres a hole there somewhere from the gaff shot and few dents in his noggin from an aluminum bat! caught him on the big stick in the rod holder and a half dead blue was the bait.
