Jason,
Congrats on the kayaks
I'm glad to see Len over at Taylor Tackle is also selling Hobies. Last I know, he was selling Cobras and Malibu Kayaks. He was one of our sponsors last year.
If you just wanna cruise your first few times out, I may try to go to Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro. They have a boat launch ramp you can use at the very end of the parking lot, and you can park your car and use some wheels and wheel your kayaks on pavement and launch them. Super easy and a nice place to cruise and fish. The only downside is the wind comes up, but thats usually about noonish. In Orange County, 15th street in Balboa would be cool and so would Dana Point. Hope this helps,
Perry
