: It happens a lot. These guys in the plastic boats just pull up. Straddle the
: boat with their feet on the bottom and stand up. I struggle to lift myself
: up, get my legs out and keep the boat upright.

: But I think I will really miss having the deck up close in easy reach too.
: But (most) everything is a compromise!

Another possibility is to just graphite coat the bottom, then you can run up on the beach and not worry about it getting all scratched up.

I am seriously thinking of doing this on my Disko Bay, have it on the NDK Greenlander and it's really nice not having to worry about scratching it.
