Lost a Calstar rod for my trouble and learned a little bit about Rod leashes today.

Got out and spent about an hour watching the waves. Finally got the rhythm of it and had a practically boring landing which was a nice alternative.

Probably going to run out on Sunday morning. Probably going to try to launch south of the rocks this time
Take some time to play in the surf without any fishing gear on board. Get to know how your kayak handles.

Been a while since I have been out through surf, I should probably do this too as a refresher
