First time on the launching to the ocean... and flipped

[kuljc]

sucks! flipped when trying to launch, damn waves! This stuff ain't easy.

Remember to tie down EVERYTHING! I put my fish grip, hook remover and knife in a side pocket of my yak and all of them fell out.

even worse... no keepers, on the yak... but caught a few blues from surf. We were fishing this past weekend at AI.

Sorry to hear about your launching experience. I always think about flipping and then getting brained by the yak. I think if I had to do it regularly, I would pick a yak with a big center hatch like the rod pod on Ocean Kayaks and keep everything else to a minimum.
