Soft Sand - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Somebody needs to call the people that have the web cam mounted on their house and have them clean the lens. Too much funk on it.

I could be wrong but I think those people live someone in this site.

Maxtrax work very well indeed. Use them as a shovel first too to get under the tires. There are a few problems at the LJ launch.
Most don't realize this but there are STOP signs in both directions located right at the seam between the pavement and the sand. If you could just carry a little speed on/off the sand, most vehicles would be OK. However, once you stop you're pretty well stuck.
Combine that with the fact that clueless pedestrians, that don't realize that they're walking in an active boat launch, cruise right down the lanes and cause drivers to lift off the accelerator.
Add to that vehicles that have no place being there. Yes, there are folks that do very well with the tiniest 2WD cars, but they are locals that do this very often.
A medium sized truck with smoother tires for a quieter ride are el-sinko too.
An alternative to Maxtrax that also works pretty well is a 4' section of chain-link fencing. Rolls up pretty small, and can be easily tossed in a trunk/truckbed. Rinse off easily and have them ready for next time.

We were going to do that during our last trip to LJ but some a-hole parked his Porsche POS in the 15minute zone and behind him was some other a-hole, both cars were there for well over an hour.

The guys at ORW turned me on to commercial restaurant kitchen floor mats for sandy desert off road excursions in Anza Borrego. Cut it in two and slip it under the tires if you get stuck. Its some kind of rubber material so it won't rust around salt water.

Last time I was out, some tourist drove his car on the beach and parked right in the middle of the entrance and left it there. The lifeguards took care of it.

BillyV told me he had some mats from Costco that worked really well. Ibe use Waffleboards before they work good. Also cut up and ziptied together milk crates have often been spoken about on offroad forums.

I too carry a recovery strap and shackles at all times though.
