I'm also going to bring my training wheels for me (the Hobie amas) as I find them to give me a little more security when pulling up a trap full o' crab (fingers crossed).

How do you find the Sidekick on surf landings?

They're not too bad! I actually launched with them and landed with them in about 3' surf a couple of weeks ago. They seemed so much more stable when just dragging my kayak through the surf to get further down the beach. I seemed to roll the kayak every once in a while when just moving it in shallow water and an ankle slapper would threaten to tip it over - not now.

I was initially worried about the bulk of them but they ride high up on the kayak when I'm pushing fast and stay off of the water. My only complaint is that they're in the way of my paddle when I have them set up behind my seat and before I get my pedal drive set up. I might need to put them in the front on Wednesday just to try them out and see how they do.

i also had one nice take down.  It was my first time ocean fishing in my kayak.. Thanks to Fred and all who helped me out today!! took home 3 nice rock fish. let a ton swim on for another day.. came in around noon for a quick break, I got sideways and lost it! thankfully i tied everything down.. Went back out and paddled with a whale for a while and made a nice surf back in with no problems!!Thanks again everyone..
Shout out to Sherman for lending me a dry top so i could experience  the ocean!! nothing but a great bunch of guys!!

it was nice hanging with you. and yes getting a dry suit with a pee zipper is a must!
