Humbling Experience - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Don't worry it could happen to anyone. I had similar experience last year on a stealth 14 which was really stupid. I rode a wave in after spending 20 something minutes timing it and the kayak landed on the sand perfectly. I was so proud of myself that I sat there for a few seconds all proud and not paying attention to waves coming in. At this point I was sideway when a big wave crashed on top of me causing the kayak to get on top of me while I was pushed I to the sand. Felt like I was stuck under forever and came out of it with ears and nose full of sand. Messed up my back for month.

Glad you made it out safe and others were there.
