My Turn (pun intended as well)

Yow! Nice turn of the foam, Otobe!

BTDT - no photos of it . . . yet.

Yeah, he made it out and then got a legal ling and a load of the usual suspects.

Ouch.  That is real carnage  .  I read your report, sounds like a great time.

Here is SCXFactor

If SCXFactor will give me permission to show it, I have a great crash video on a certain unamed beach. 

With his permission, here is a video of SCXFactor about 3 weeks ago at Chef's Reef. I apologize for this Sir.    I was just trying to film your landing technique. I didn't know carnage would ensue.

Thanks for sharing that, I did one like that at Caspar a while back with about 100 people watching - small waves, surfers having fun - I lapsed in my focus for a second as I watched a greybeard snag a nice wave to the right and behind me and threw a big yardsale. Thankfully, no one hurt themselves laughing too hard!

Cool pix.  Sakyak what beach are your pix from?  Water and beach look beautiful...

Hi Kevin,  mine are mostly from Lime Kiln though the one with Alex is from MBK.

I like where this is going.  Keep the cool pix comming.

...and they walked away!  I can't get enough of this crash footage, great stuff.  I promise to record and post my future crash landings so others may laugh the way I did today.  Sharing is caring

If it hasn't happened to you yet, believe me my kayaking brothers it is going to happen.

When rockfishing season comes around the corner we will have newbies flopping all over the surf. Please guys practice your self rescue and your surf launch/landings.

I try to surf my Tarpon 160 for fun when I'm at the beach. Its a guaranteed bailout/crash all the time. Atleast I know I'm ready & not nervous when it happens for real.

It's a good idea for you bay/lake/delta guys to bring your yak & paddle to the beach and just practices surf launch & landings. Leave your fishing gear at home and just go in/out/in/out/in/out/in/out/in/out.

hahah dirty dirty man Allen!

wasnt fishing but I most certainly was crashing. humbling times learning that even the smallest waves can bring the smack down.
and a great example of why we practice
