TO build your ego...and saving some $, try launching from Doho beach (the south end of the harbor. Waves hardly break in that area.
Once you get that launch under your belt, launch at Beach and Palisades, in Dana point. It's shore-break and the potential for outside breakers is there, but it's good training for other local surf launch fishing areas.

When I first purchased my hobie I took it out for a spin and not knowing any better I launched at doheny on a day with 3ft surf (same weekend that one guy went missing up at salt Creek) I managed with no spills but have since only launched at baby beach. Doheny didn't seem too intimidating knowing how to time it like I used to when I surfed, but could have just been dumb luck which I can't afford to lose if I'm fully loaded.
Anyhow, I'll be out there Monday if anyone wants to join
