This is part one of a surf launching and landing attempt with the Pro Angler. This isn’t the tallest surf we get here but it was pretty gnarly with the 0 second intervals. I tried to hot dog it too much with the single-blade paddle and paid for it. Nate was on this for the [...]

Part two of our tour – launched in Oceanside Harbor for some live-action stupidity.
