Hi everyone,

I recently got a yak to transition from shore fishing. Will be taking a few safety courses over the next month and then will start taking it out in the bay and, eventually, HMB when comfortable. I've already learned a lot from this forum and hoping to learn more.

Thanks!

I'm taking a private re-entry and surf course with the owner of HMB Kayak (Chris). Found out about it from this post https://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=97523.msg1097139#msg1097139. Going July 23rd. If you are available, I can ask him if you can join. Let me know...
