It's been so choppy too! The ocean is unpredictable right now
Nice job Nick! I wish there were more of these launch/landing vids with expert commentary- it's a steep learning curve that could be made significantly less so if experienced yakkers like you guys break down the essentials of this skill.

No problem Tim thanks for the kind comment! Sometimes it's tough since we launch so early in the morning it's hard to film with no light. Also coming in after a long day, normally our camera batteries are pretty much empty too. Things just worked out this day! Glad you enjoyed it
Ensei slid into home nearly avoiding the wipeout. You guys killed it. After getting out there with you guys on a easy, flat calm day…. I’m ready to try and step up to baby step no.2. This video was expert level 1000 with pucker factor extreme. Awesome!
You’re best bet is to just ride a wave in and pull back off it as you approach. That way you know what you’re going to get. When you start trying to time it between waves is when the unexpected can happen. I was hoping to see bigger waves than this.
Fun times!!! The last one rocked Slideways….
Those houses are gonna be toast this winter

Great job guy's. I envy you guy's. I do have a 120 pdl. With a trolling motor. But I fish large freshwater lakes. They can get sketchy when the wind pics up. But not like that. Glad you're all safe..🙏🙏🤟🎣
That's some crazy exciting stuff😉😎

Hey thanks for that. Welcome to the team
Wow, beautiful landing. I've got that same Kayak and it's like paddling a barge.
This is dope nick! Hella pro shit! Ensei’s landing was hella sick!!! I thought he was gonna wipe out when he went sideways to the wave but still saved it!!

Yeah I have absolutely no idea how he did that. The Hobie revolution 13 is probably the best kayak for launching / landing in the surf IMO
Wow! That landing zone is crazy sketch! Let’s thread the needle with a kayak 😬 Glad you all got in safe! Thanks for the video!

Sweet landing
its a good idea to take your weights off before you make a sketchy landing like that. At best you break your rod at worst you break your skull!
Sheesh yea that spot can get pretty gnarly.
That was fun to watch

Try to take the bouncy hurtey thing off before beaching
Sketchy! Nice landing all things considered. Also I'd suggest stowing your rod so your diver, flasher and rig isn't slamming around and potentially snagging you in the event of a flip
those things are rough to paddle! Update on your karen video on tiktok, one of em got taken down for violating the community guidelines lol, and the other parts are still getting views

Good job, Nick. Learnt thru the years that When you have a window then you need to jump on it quickly and paddle like there is no tomorrow …. No hesitation. However, that location looks too scary when it has big rocks on the right side. The waves can mash you and your kayak into those rocks
Interesting.Not to minimize in any way your unenviable plight in what could have been a dangerous landing. If you follow Rokkit ,what he launches and lands in usually makes this look fairly routine. Recently to the tune of a dislocated shoulder. It's always best to be safe and the time you don't act concerned is the time you'll be heading to the bottom .Stay safe,fish hard.

That place is an advanced launch...not for beginners. But the most dangerous surf launch award goes to Bean Hollow.

Hey Eddie!! That spot is for advanced kayak anglers ONLY, so true.
do you keep a personal locator beacon (PLB) in case you get pulled out to sea or separated from your kayak?
