Great video, was sure you were gone a few times.

Just got mine yesterday, don't think I will be trying the surf for a long while.

That looks like awesome fun!!!!! one of these days I will get myself a decent yak.

I didn't see any rods setup on that launch though only problem I see with fishing from a yak is that your reels will always need a good clean after every trip.

cheers

Brandon...

PS: thats a huge GT too!!!!

Thanks Couta for that video. Certainly shows your determination to get out there.
Did you do any good on the reef that day?

Great video, was sure you were gone a few times.

Generally speaking if you hit a wave head on at speed you'll be right...

Although I wont blame you for thinking you're toast if you have a 2m wave break about 15 metres in front of you But yeah, go hard and go straight is pretty much the general idea for surf launches.

Couta1s yak is pretty good for that, those hulls punch up pretty well and all the gear gets stored in the hull.
