I took my dads out the week before last and it was no problem heading out. Just keep it pointed straight.

The landing part was a little more tricky. working the rudder is a little more challenging than the rudder on my outback. not as much control then when you turn the knob to keep it straight, it really wanted to go that direction.. so I would suggest making smaller adjustments with the rudder. I did manage to keep it straight and surfed a 2 footer all the way into ankle deep water. P.S. I peddled, who can paddle that thing?

if you do end up turned into the wave, lean very hard into the wave. kinda like skiing or boarding... gotta keep that down hill edge off the snow, same with the PA. its possible to lean into the wave and ride it sideways all the way to the shore.
