[quote=the-renovator]Your biggest obstacle launching ocean side is the waves, if you have surf/surfing experience, a bonus, no experience? you will learn quick. Wind has to be in the right direction for you to launch through waves, best to launch directly into waves. Try find a gap between sandbanks where the water moves out to back-line, this will help a lot, more depth and current will be pushing out. If there are 2 of you, your crew will assume the bow position as you walk cat out through waves untill you have enough depth for captain to climb aboard to drop rudders, cat will surge up and down with waves so crew will have a difficult time on bow, do not lock rudders down, you could break a rudder, do not let waves move cat backwards, you could break a rudder. Sheet in and get cat moving forward as crew scrambles aboard, keep weight forward, you must be powered up and moving forward to break through waves, worst area will be out where waves are curling to break, just stay powered up, weight forward, and bust through the lip of the wave. Practice when surf is small to get the experience for those days when the surf gets bigger, if surf is too big, launch on sound side if possible.
