I agree with the others. If you follow the suggestions in the DVD that should have come with your kayak you are sure to lose your $350.00 drive. Keep it locked in when you come into shore.

When I launch I walk it out and hop in, start peddling then drop the rudder and peddle like hell through the surf. With the help of the peddles and rudder you can cut through the surf.

As with any kayak you should stow everything (especially the sharp things). I use the rudder and peddles as much as I can and when I get close to shore I pull up the rudder and set the mirage so the flaps are flush to the hull and continue in with the paddles.
