I was curious in knowing if anyone on this site kayak surfs i would think at least someone would know about it . I really want to try it and was wondering if anyone could show me the ropes or give me more info on it
 Thank you, Kris

Hey Kris, did you meet Mr. Magoo at the Mooch Memorial?  I know that he does it, but up in HMB.

  No I don't think I did , but I did see someone surfing mavericks on the kayak.

Sean Morley teaches some classes out of CCK in Oakland.

I just took a surf clinic from CCK in HMB this past Sunday.  Pretty difficult conditions but I learned a lot (4 to 7 foot waves).  It is possible to do the clinic in a sit on top if your kayak is outfitted with thigh straps.  Need to have pretty reliable strokes and self rescue capabilities.  It was a lot of fun.

Ok, now on a more serious note:

There's not much to learn, if you're not in a planing kayak.   Use stern rudders to keep you pointed straight down the wave. And when those fail, throw a quick high brace to the wave side of your boat, and steadily lean into it to keep your leading edge up so it doesn't catch and roll you. 

Some things you just need to practice, over and over. 

So, next time you and your buds are out in the ocean, get out 15 minutes early, then stow your gear on shore, and practice a few times transitioning the surf zone.

I love kayak surfing, I use my whitewater boats. It's fun as hell doin spins, window shades, and cartwheels (usually unintentionally). It's a great way to improve your skills, but get a boat that's made for it and it will be a lot of fun carving up the wave face and launching off the lip and all that good stuff. It's not very difficult to learn and is a fun way to diversify your kayaking interest. If you were up here Id could definately get you out there.

 
   I really want to try it in the little sit insides! It looks like a blast
