‘Grats on finding the sport!
I’ve been lit up since getting into it.
I’ve never sat in a PA, but fwiw my outback feels like a lot of work in Malibu. It’s heavy and unforgiving if I don’t time my launch/landing just right. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a PA on a beach in Malibu, but ymmv. Part of that equation is the factor of convincing someone to help you carry it to the beach.
Even on a small surf day, reading the sets is no joke, and it can be pretty dangerous to launch/land depending on your paddling skills.
Depending on what you’re targeting, If you’re *just* starting out, I second the recommendation of harbor launching for a bit to get the hang of your ride. There’s a lot of info on here about Dana point, Redondo, etc, and most of the anglers on here in La Jolla seem to do fine with a PA.
I’d offer to join you but I’m mostly diving lately.
