If this is gonna be one of your first surf launches, I recommend using the Rod Pod on your T15 for your rods on launch and landing (especially landing). There are always other folks on the beach launching, so do yourself a favor and clue at least one of them in on you lack of experience. Most of them will spot you on your launch. By all means, time the surf. There are almost always lulls on a regular basis that allow for easier entry and exit. On the launch, commit to it and keep paddling directly into the waves. Don't stop for
anything until you are safely past the surf line. On the landing, with the T15, you should straddle the yak with your feet in the water (makes the yak much more stable). I am no expert, but I am fresh off the learning curve. Good luck, and don't catch any of my fish!
