That wasn't supposed to happen. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I launched in Carlsbad with high expectations this morning. Surf was a bit bigger than I was expecting. I waited for a break in the waves, but I didn't get clear fast enough and dumped it. Got it righted and waited for the next lull. Same thing; I couldn't get clear before the bigger waves came again. I tried to punch through, but my front hatch got pulled of by the wave and I got swamped. Didn't lose anything except my crate, which obviously wasn't tied down as good as I thought it was.
Today I was the bug. I hope some of you are the windshield this weekend.
