The ones I saw, made it look fairly easy and only witnessed one tandem flip at the last second. It looked to me like the technique was to be patient, getting a feel for the right set, incoming surf rythym e.t.c. Most just glided right up on the beach. Next question would be what to do with kayak cart if you unload on the beach and have to park a couple blocks away? Mine will come apart and stow in the forward A Hatch, but it also adds a bit of bow weight. Guess I could simply leave the kayak beached while I put the cart in the trunk and go find parking seeing how as I am usually alone.

my buddy and i went there today around 4ish. met kevin at the launch ("the kid"). my buddy talked to him as i was checkin out the sets and noticed some corbina in the surf. lol. its really mellow at the launch. everywhere else was to rough. were headed down at 4am and will probably launch at around 5am. get some squid then hit a rock pile or two and try for some sheepshead around the kelp.

as for your cart. just wheel your yak down to the water and then put it in the trunk when you go to park. your going to drag the yak into the surf without anyways.
