But no so hard you get an IFE.

NZY is more challenging than people give it credit for. If you land long and fast, that end comes up faster than you realize and braking is not that great. Boats, houses, rocks and SAN all right off the end of the runway can screw with your desicion making to waive off/go around too if you haven't seen it before. It's like off roading on that crappy concrete too.

Hook skips
Skips happen. I've had them at sea and ashore. I've watched plenty of them from the flight deck and the LSO platform. I've watched a Rhino cross the ramp, touch down just before the ace, and skip all four wires for the no grade bolt. Yep, shiznit happens.
Of course, I have no idea what happened... for instance, if the long field gear was even rigged or if the pilot was even trying for it. And no longer having access to MDRs and SIRs, I'll have to wait to see what half baked explanation comes out in the regular press.
Just glad he/she got out.

Can't say about T-45 landings there, but many heavy C-5 landings have gotten my attention. A 250,000# Mk5 or DSRV load circling to 18 off the SAN 29 approach at night is thrilling. Cranking by the Del to 29 heavy is also.
