Hey Davey

This is the most recent pic I have of the LJ beach launch and this is probably what kind of surf you can expect this Saturday. The launch area is in the back of a depression in the coastline. Technically I wouldn’t really call it an open ocean surf launch because it’s so protected. I’ve watched tourist from all over the world rent kayaks and paddle out for what I think is their first time. A few of them get turned and roll on the first couple of tries but eventually everybody makes it though the small surf in good health and it’s all good fun.

It’s a whole different story once you paddle out past the point and the yellow buoys that mark the end of the preserve. You’ll be in the open ocean then and you’d better be prepared for anything.
