Marine safety

Just thought of something else, I had a brush a few years ago at Muir, snotty day, some folks will remember it, I got past the breakers, in 40 fow, and while I had the hatch open, a 10 ft sneaker crashed on me, flipped me around and when I tried to get up on the ocean side of the yak, all the leashes for my "precious" toys tried to drown me, I had to jettison my PDF in 40 fow with waders on the beach side, so I ended up getting slammed by my yak on the next three waves. It's a good thing I took a big dump in the am cause I only did a little one in my waders...
Don't leash too many things, they are not worth your life, beware of the surf...

scary story, I will be careful of that.
