Like an old friend! Read my response to Shark Bait. I still have sea urchin spines in my feet and that was like three weeks ago that it happened. Not sure where you are, but if you don't have urchins be thankful. Like waterborne porcupines. Anywhere you have rocks you can be sure there will be urchins. I honestly cannot think of a worse beach to have gotten trashed on than this one. It is all rock- big rocks- with breaking waves. Even on a flat day just trying to get your kayak on the rock beach would mean certain damage. I had always considered it one of those places I would never take my kayak, but hey- to get my paddle, well that's different!
