This kayak fishing trip to Big Sur over 5 years ago was one of the most intense launches I’ve ever experienced on the California coast. We started before sunrise, meeting up in Prunedale around 3 a.m. and driving south to Limekiln, knowing that access is limited and timing matters. By getting there early, we were first in line and able to make the descent before conditions changed. Big Sur kayak fishing isn’t forgiving. The launch alone tested everyone — broken paddles, flipped kayaks, lost gear

Surfline on Instagram: "This wave ranks among the ten best big waves on the planet. Only a handful of surfers on Earth want anything to do with it and most of them live in Ireland.
