Interest in a surf/rescue/rigging for yakfishing at MBK

[Aaron]

A few NCKA members have suggested that we hold an all day rescue, surf zone, and saltwater rigging/safety class at MBK.Myself and Holokai, MBK resident surf kayak guru and instructor teacher, would co-teach the class. Kayaks,paddles,helmets,wetsuits,paddle jackets and PFD would be provided if you don't already have your own.We would cover and practice self-recovery,launching and landing in the surf, and rigging a fishing kayak for saltwater fishing.

MBK is a great area to demo boats and test your skills in the surf.The surf pretty much gets incrementally larger as you paddle north toward the hotel.This would be a great intro for beginners and a season primer for vets with tips on launching and landing at Big Sur and other technically challenging surf launches.If we offered this for around $60 with group discount possibilities how many would be interested in this class? When would be a good date for this?

If it's on a weekend, I'm in! I could use some help after my crash landing at Capitola(!) in front of an audience of beachgoers...

Don't feel embarassed, AlgieSwift, I did the same thing on my first visit to Crapitola! 

I'd be up for a class like this...I need all the help I can get when it comes to handling my tank...er, Outback, in the surf.  Weekends would be best for me; any Sunday, or Saturdays anytime after the end of this month when the quarter ends at De Anza and I'm FREE for summer.

I'd be interested in doing a refresher if it's soon...very soon...

Haha!  I will    That's why I got that helmet cam from Mooch, just to do surf launch, landings, and crashes with!

You are becoming the Warren Miller of yak fishing!

Count me in on this too if its weekend, I would suggest the third weekend of this month sounds really good with all the plannings and the rockcod season too, I know a few more will show, Thanks
