What's the launch like there? I'm not sure if I'm coming yet but an excuse to play with my new yak and practice some semi-challenging surf launches sounds fun, as well as paddle around exploring.

45th place / 423 pts / 3 Species - AOTY 2014 (nowhere to go but up!)
30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

It's one of the easiest surf launches anywhere.

I started kayak fishing to get away from most of you...

Launch is very protected and very doable on all but the roughest days...but usually not very "challenging"  :smt002

Darn. Was hoping to give everyone an opportunity to watch me knock myself around and do stupid things!

I will know more sometime next week if I'll be there!

Sounds good. Narisa, Ari and I plan on being there. Do you know if they charge $8 for children?

My understanding from communicating with Brenda is that if you are just hanging out/chilling there is no fee.

If you are gonna paddle or be "harvesting" then you pay the $8 fee.

I personally would assume that kiddos Ari's size/age are free...but I'm sure Brenda will let you know.  :smt001

If there is a SW swell or a BIG south swell it will be challenging Jimmy don't worry. NW, not so much. See ya there. We could just do a paddle Ryan and get on that new boat. Craig

Forecast looks wet!

Anybody have any pop-up canopies they can bring so we can make sure we keep at least prizes and roast pig dry?

THANK YOU!!
