This might not be a direct answer to securing rods but its a great place to start befor your first surf launch with gear. Maybe you have already done this but if not give it a few hours. Take just you and your kayak out in to the surf. Paddle out, surf in, get side ways, wipe out, practice getting back on to your kayak in and outside the surf. Get to know the feel of your kayak in the surf and learn how it will handle different situations. Get a feel for the timing of the waves, practice your sprint paddle, build up some confidence. When you dont have to worry about gear the surf can be fun on your kayak. Mike
