hmmm I've never seen that before...that's a great beginning primer and it covers a lot of different stuff!

However, I take issue with the following statement in bold regarding launchging a cat through beach surf. Standing up is recommended? for real? It's hard enough (i.e. watch me fall off) to stand up on the boat just going through swells much less surf.

7. Keep your body weight forward on the boat when going through the surf. Standing up is also a good idea so that the white water coming over the trampoline hits only your legs and not your body, which
could push you to the back of the boat and thus promote capsize. Throw your weight forward against
the mast or front crossbar or pull on the shrouds to drive (ooch) the boat forward as a wave hits your
bow. This also helps to keep the bow down and the stern from being driven under too far which could
cause the boat to flip over backwards.
