Considering the AI for a fishing /sailing yak. Curious, how is the AI for launching/landing in the surf? I live on east coast, NJ. Would appreciate to hear your experiences.

Real surf conditions? I would be concerned if over a couple feet of surf. Especially coming back in. If the boat gets sideways it could cause some real issues. The main hull in the Adventure kayak mode... without amas... no problem.

I think it kind of depends on how wet you want to get and also how shallow the water is.

Where I launch it is quite shallow which means I have to get quite a way out before the rudders & dagger can be dropped down & you can use the mirage drive, in a strong on-shore wind with surf it is very tricky as you tend to get blown back in. Really the only answer is to wade further out into deeper water & get in and out there.
