Or how about the time I put the rudders on my TheMightyHobie18 on backwards - had so much helm, I couldn't get the thing to tack. We finally got it headed back to the beach but just as we entered the surf, my brother and I realized the rudders were so loaded up that the cams wouldn't release (old-style TheMightyHobie18 cams too). I tried to abort the landing in between waves but it was too late...a wave caught us sideways and slid us in towards the beach snapping both rudders off.
