I think most of the stuff lost on launch and landing is when people roll their yaks at night. Typically in the daylight you would be able to see and retrieve anything not immediately buried in the sand. Lots of folks get complacent about the normally small surf at LJ Shores and fail to lock everything down.

I don't think there are many people using float bags because they reduce your storage options. There has been a lot of recent discussion about the use of pool noodles which you could fit better into less useful places.

I have seen several people with some sort of heavy duty tape or similar product molded to the center bottom of their yaks. Not sure exactly what the product is or how it is applied, but some will.

It is pretty straight forward on how to pee, the complication comes in when you have to do the other bodily function. Just make sure you are not whipping it out in front of the authorities (might even be legal, not sure) and your scuppers are open.

If you launch right at the Shores launch ramp, most of the time the surf is very small. The trick is to watch the surf for 10 or 15 mins. to find the wave pattern so you know when the best lulls will be.
