Hi all,

A kayak group in Mobile is discussing ways to construct a kayak launch.
Problem is none of us has seen a nice set up.

This would be a river bank at a park...muddy rainy area with tidal effect of about 1 maybe 2 feet but not much current.

They don't want anything high maintenance and lets rule out a jetski launch.

Is there a formal way to build a decent low maintenance launch for both sit on top and sit ins. Pea gravel..sand....??
