Landing is ALS very good in the PA. Raise the pedals and rudder and then surf it in using the paddle.
Guess I better practice surfing in my PA. The only real difficulty I have had on Lake Michigan has been coming in with a breaking surf. There is a lot to do in a short period of time (pullng & securing the Mirage Drive and retracting the rudder). I invariably get turned a little sideways to the surf while doing all this, and then have to paddle like crazy to get back in line with the waves. I have dumped a couple of times doing this, where the PA just rolls right over in a large breaker. Fortunately it is always pretty shallow where this occurs, so I can just round up all the lost gear and take "the walk of shame" back in to the beach.
