flipped the boat at LJ

That sucks! I hope it turns up if it was the one that someone found.


But if everyone took as long as Mr Yakrider here... we would have some serious landing traffic jams!

Sorry to hear about the spill.

I learned long ago that my Hobie is not a surfboard. They turn sideways quickly and you will get your face washed in close interval surf.

Given this knowledge I almost always use the peddles on my return and bungee them in the "up position as I near the shallow water"

Then step out and grab the stern to walk the kayak to shore.
---------------------------------

In very steep surf I have swam the boat in while on the stern handle. I am not the only one that has done this before.

I'm with Billy.....Had my face washed more than once on my Hobie. I just make sure I take the extra min or two and stow my gear before I come in.
