Found this on another site. Always a FUN time!!! The Asbury Park press will be covering this. Hoping that it will promote kayak fishing safety!


Time again for our annual surf launch practice. Just as with the last 3 years, this will be held just in front of The Breakers Hotel in Spring Lake on the Kayak Beach. We will do it again on a Saturday early in the Morning 8 am. The date will be July 2nd.

This is always simply a casual get together that welcomes all kayakers of all skill levels who want to practice, teach, play, hang-out, or even fish.

For those new to this we bring the fishing yaks out without all of our regular implements of destruction such as fishing rods and tackle. We hop in and practice self rescues, going out through surf and coming back in without dumping and even riding waves.

Its a great way to gain confidence, meet some friends old and new, and get ready for the fall run. Its free and not sponsored by anyone. We usually have a great crowd and I have many fond memories of great wrecks, good times and learning new tricks. Any questions please feel free to post em up or you can reach via PM.

If you always wanted to learn how to get out and back in one piece there are alot of great kayakers that show up and are happy to give tips and share best practices that they have gleaned over years of doing surf launches.

Hope to see you there. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions or wants to contribute, my cyber-door is always open.

Tight lines!
