I agree!! It's just common sense. Tie down EVERYTHING until you get the feel of your yacht. Be careful with those ores in the event you roll! Last..... Don't launch or land alone until you get the feel for it. This way someone is there to help you so you don't lose any thing.

Good luck!

I use to use leashes for everything. No I don't. I just leash my paddle cause that's kinda important.

That said, I have lost a pair of sunglasses from a flip.

I have lost one rod and reel, but that was due to a seal trying to capsize me to steal my catch.

Sadly, I think I'm most worried about my pride. We'll see what happens this weekend, heading out for round two, me vs. YT. I think I'll error on the side of caution and secure everything. If it goes over, I'm sure it will be much more entertaining than a normal yak, think catapult.....

SO, we're showing video of bad launches?
Get over your pride and make a movie.

My 1st time ever doing a beach launch was also only my 2nd time ever on a kayak. ..4-5 foot surf not sure what I was thinking. Needless to say it ended very bad for me lost 2 rods and reels 3 tackle boxes and about 150 zipties. It was a learning experience and I always seem to learn the hard way.

That was ~~awesome~~ , ah..... I mean, horrible! I like how the cooler went back and forth with the tide as the yak was up on the beach, nice touch.
