I've tried several techniques with launching/landing my revo in the surf: Paddle without rudder = way too squirrely, even in light surf it wants to turn sideways; paddle with rudder down = better but you can't adjust the rudder when paddling and it doesn't move out very fast; pedal with rudder down = much faster (esp beneficial in going out) and easier to control but I have to jump out in 2-3 feet of water to grab the yak and pull up the rudder while the small breakers are rocking me (not always as easy as it sounds!). I also wonder what would happen if I turned sideways and didn't have my paddle ready to dig into the wave or if I jumped out on top of a sting ray?
Right now I'm favoring the pedal/rudder option for going out and the paddle/rudder option coming in.
