Most of us have been in a situation where we are trying to land our water craft. It is not always the easiest thing to do and knowing about surf and the area can be a lifesaver. Always scout your surroundings and your route before you go out on the water. Take into consideration the surf conditions, rip tides or currents, and what kind of beaches will be best for a landing. A little bit of planning can go a long way in finding a great spot to land.
