Thats on the big side for lj shores, well done. When I launch or land a hobie it feels like there is alot going on that all needs to be done at once compared to my paddle boats where I just sprint paddle till I'm outside the surf. I have an adventure and it doesn't plane or provide lift to go over waves either. A bit anxiety inducing. Going ass over tea kettle sounds like a nightmare in a boat as heavy as a PA. Show a landing video if you can. Like MrPatrick said, having a paddle ready can help. The mirage drive needs to move the yak forward in order to turn. If you find yourself not straight in to the waves a paddle can pivot your yak around much faster than the drive. Mike
