Having a tough time launching Hobie Wave from the beach into headwind with 3-4 foot breakers on Florida panhandle. Can't get enough speed to get through the waves headon without backing up and hitting rudders on the bottom. Already broke the tips off one side of the top rudder support. Any suggestions? Only way I've been able to launch is by swimming the boat out, but this is beating me up!
