I use my drive and rudder for launch and land. Worked for me so far, have yet to roll in a surf zone. For launch, get out to about 2.5-3 feet of water, drop the drive and rudder, hop on and cruise right through the waves, no issues. EXCEPT sometimes recently I noticed that my oversized rudder would hang up on the bungee cleat. Almost caused me to roll a couple times because I couldnt steer. Fixed that with my dremel the other day.
For landing, I dont take the paddle out either. Time the sets, and charge it right behind the last wave in a set if there are any. Bail in about 2.5-3feet of water to pull my drive out and rudder up. Done deal!
