NEVER PANIC AND BE PATIENT! Having owned beach launched boats here are some STEPS....Wax the hull while on trailer (Cobra floor wax good) Position boat at sensible push in distance. .If you don't have warm up water muffs, you can still warm up the motor to point just before impella squeals. Look to time shore break by pushing in so as to time entry just after shore beak hits and before it washes back. Have the motor on idle during push in. Once in channel between shorebreak and back line get on the plane so you can draw figure of eights to always meet and prop over foamies while waiting for a break in the back line sets then seek you break and gun it.
Westbrook? My C-Ski 440 launched itself there, fortunately during a break in a very large shore break. The beach was very steep and she just took off. Nearly a disaster. BTW I would never wear a kill switch lanyard in the surf zone. I had 2 accidental engine kills when punching large waves when I was launching a duck as a teenager. Managed to restart just in time.
