Janine, that looks like such an exhilarating experience. It reminds me of a time when I was a kid visiting family in Hawaii and we spent all day swimming in the surf, absorbing the sun's rays, and feeling so content. I love that feeling the water gives you, the beauty of the ocean, and the feeling of having your muscles worked out. You come back tired and worn but satisfied. So glad I got to see your maiden voyage of your smaller kayak.
I do have a longer kayak, but it was salvaged from our garage as our home was being destroyed in Colorado's Marshall Fire disaster. Our home in the U.S. still isn't rebuilt, so we have not yet gone back to Colorado to get the stuff in storage. The one I have is the Scrambler, substantially longer, and yes, definitely has better Speed although speed was not my goal on this day, it was simply to get out on the water, throw a few fishing lines, and see our new life in Panama from the water.
You really need research and practice in kayaking on surf...the ocean frenzy is a recreation kayak...you should have a fishing kayak with onboard fishing rod holder
I appreciate the advice, though I do have a lot of experience with surf landings, but in locations where there is plenty of time between waves to time a landing on on one wave, and in much heavier fiberglass touring kayaks, not sit-on-tops. Here simply is not a good place for kayak surf landings, given that the waves come so very close together. Also, surf landings go far better with a fully loaded boat, as it is far less likely to capsize. All the same, kayak surfing is not really my goal. I'd just assume jump out and walk the boat in, just the same way I walked it out past the waves when I launched it, again, because of how close together the waves are. I don't really enjoy kayaking the surf to or from shore, or riding on rivers with rapids. Getting in and out of the surf is just a means to an end for me, which is to get out there on the water and be filled with pure joy. Same thing for the fishing, I don't want a fully designed for fishing kayak, I'm not that serious about fishing. It is just fun and relaxing for me, but yes, a rod holder would sure be helpful and I think one can be installed in both this smaller Frenzy, and for sure in the larger Scrambler which is still in storage in Colorado. That one is my favorite sit-on-top kayak, but they are both just recreational for me, and mostly just for getting out and simply hanging out on the water, and seeing the world from the water level and perspective.

The frenzy i think is 9ft long...maybe you should have longer ocean kayak...12ft long for more speed
