I wish I was into kayaks back when you guys were "exploring" the possibilities. Imperial Beach launching to get to that kelp just screams at me. I need partners con juevos to check this area out with me. It'd def be stupid to go it alone...until I got comfortable with it...

The only time I attempted IB was with a couple other "originals" probably 12 years ago, we tucked tail that morning.......scary 4 footers breaking 100 yards out

I use to surf and bodyboard at IB, I don't remember any location over there that would be Kayak friendly for launching. We use to jump off the pier to get out beyond the breakers, that wasn't always smart either.

Man I've gotten some of the sickest barrels ever at IB. I've also gotten the deepest sand enemas. There would have to be ZERO swell to have a pleasurable launch there
