> The surf today (Sunday) in Southern California was just > spectacular. How does one get out of their kayak on the beach? In wind driven waves along a large river I find I usually end up in the water and with a boat full of sand and water. Is it the longer period between waves in the ocean that gives you time to get out of your boat and pull it up on the beach? The short period of waves I experience on the river come too quick for me to pop the skirt and get out before even 6 inch waves knock me over and I'm rolling in the water like rats on crack. Before I put my dry suit on I could get my legs out before getting to shore and could just jump up and run in, but the dry suit has slowed me down to the point that I now just hope I don't get hurt. Inquiring minds...
