[Paddlewise] kayak restrictions

I read this on the San O kayaking website, which got me wondering about
restrictions out there at other beaches. Perhaps someone can better explain
section A to me.


Nov. 1, 1996

1.  The following lands and facilities within the Orange Coast District are
restricted as follows:

          A.  In accordance with the provisions of Section 4657, Launching
Areas, of Title 14, California Code of Regulations, it is hereby declared
that no person shall launch or beach a vessel or weigh anchor or cast off in
any area of any beach within Bolsa Chica, Huntington, San Clemente, Doheny,
and San Onofre State Beaches or Crystal Cove State Park.

          B.  An exception to Article A is as noted herein that at San
Onofre State Beach from the area known as "Dog Patch" extending to the
southeast, launching or beaching of paddle assisted vessels (kayaks, surf
skis, and wave skis) shall be permitted.  No other vessels may launch or
beach in this area.  The boundary of the launch zone will be clearly marked
by two signs visible from the water.

Actually, San Onofre is one of the only beaches where Surf Kayaking IS
restricted.
