Wow...to those that paddled out today, I will say the same thing to you that I would say to Tiger Woods...

Ain't no tail worth all that $hit...

Glad to hear those that dared to defy made it in.

all embarrassment aside this can be a learning exp for those not involved.
Just wind and swell? equipment failure?
come on fess up and tell us what happened so someone doesn't make the same mistake.....I promise not to give you any additional hell.

can't speak for anyone else.If you were brave enough to go spill your guts!

I'm sure you are but 16 or 17 yrs. old by how you are asking these questions.(and thats ok). Just follow the post and that should tell you what happened and hopefully the conditions that day won't ever come into play for you. Spill your guts about what? No need to chastise these guys,hopefully their experience(second hand ie. the news report) and your familiarity of the sea you can come to a sense of how this event transpired.

nope I'm an old fart like you dorado

I just look 18!
Just trying to get the info out there so no one else makes the same mistake and we end up have a bunch of r.i.p. and prayers on this board.
I fished lj for the first time in 71 and have spent at least 2000 days on the water since,not trying to stir up trouble quite the opposite.Just a month ago while fishing the after thanks giving halibut tournament we came close to losing some people at the mission bay channel entrance in a boat some what bigger then a kayak.
I have pushed my luck before and it was for the same reason ...not knowing or checking the weather conditions,so I'm a guilty as the next guy.
If there was equipment failure in tough conditions and it is because of the way a kayak is designed or modified please let everyone know so they can avoid the mistake.A thirty pound tail or croaker is not worth dying over ( well maybe the croaker).

One is pressing their "luck" (as u say) the moment you come in contact,either on or below, with the sea. Education and on the water experience does a great deal to help one in case of such emergencies. With 2000 days at sea you should be able to at least offer up a class to help others avoid that same event, I'll be the first to sign up!
