Thanks for all the responses.
I was under the impression that the launches seem to be the most difficult (ie. getting enough speed and the timing to plow through the incoming waves etc.), but it seems like the landings are just as tough!

I was debating on taking one of Sammon's classes, but based on the responses I think that's a slam dunk (pardon the pun). LOL
