I hear that. I usually use two medium or one large and when stuck have had to wrap the line around a cleat, pulling in slack as the boat goes into a trough of wave, then let the next wave do the work and lift. That usually will break the tie on the first shot.
One medium can easily be broken by hand but usually holds our small boat without problem....usually .... once it did break when we got hit be a large boat wake and had to pull the anchor and re-tie.
