What you should do is always be aware of all your surroundings at all times when playing with the fishies, it's not the sharks or seals, yeah you should pay them attention, but the guy running the PB by you at 40 mph
or that pesky jet skier that isn't watching where he is going...
As far as "Pt Loma kelp" yeah I have, fun stuff. as far as "the dredded first surf launch" I didn't do it until I took a surf lesson with some "experience", however start off slow, if it looks too big to handle...it is...if the wind is blowing at the launch, probably not going to die down, but again lots of good info in here, I will hit you up when I am headed your way...which should hopefully be soon...it's that time of year again...go get um
