Frank the key in getting out is timing the sets and not to hesitate, once you commit to going keep forward momentum and keep pointed straight into the swell, paddle right into the surf and brace forward at the last second and paddle some more. Surf can sometimes change dramatically while you are out just with the change of high and low tide. It has to be pretty bad for me to want to stow below, but leashing the rods gives me piece of mind in anything over 1 foot. I have some Surf to Summit leashes that are 2 pieces one is always clipped to my seat and the other is on the rod, just clip em in for a landing. I also will use my paddle leash to velcro a third rod, you don't want your paddle leashed in the surf.

I bet you could find one of us willing to go out with ya

, post it up when you are ready.
