Questions about la jolla

[coffeebean16]

i made my first trip in a kayak and my first trip to la jolla at the same time.

i was also solo, not wise, but it worked out. i ended up swimming within 15 minutes of launch. a honey bee was very interested in me a half mile out to sea.

the big swell that is predicted should be of concern to you if you are new.

at the launch because you could get pummeled by larger than normal waves. this could be looked at as fun though. its all a perspective thing.

a big swell on the open water could make you sick on your first trip. i got some mean vertigo the last time i was out in a big swell. tying knots without looking down from the horizon is an experience.

personally i wouldn't recommend the weekend. it seems that the pacific ocean isn't big enough when everyone is off work. i got a yak cause i didn't like the cattle boat experience.

best of luck and any questions ask.
