Lipripper - What or where is Table Rock. I have launched from Dog Beach to get to Solana Kelp.
Hondatom - #1, Use a PFD. #2, Dress to get wet. My first launches here left me more cold from being soaked than embarrassed from the pummelling. I get soaked heading out even just poking through and over the waves smoothly. Also, the swells seem to pick-up more as the day goes by. The re-entry is the trick. Go with the expectation to flip and learn and you will begin the process. Definitely wait for low wave/swell days to start. I have sat outside of the breakers for 20-minutes studying and timing re-entry. It's counter-intuitive but don't try and ride the waves in.
