By the description here, I'd say I'm in no condition to be even considering a launch there. https://www.bayareakiteboarding.com/for ... =1&t=10967

1. Power up
2. Head out through the surf
3. As you crest an almost breaking wave at full speed, sheet in and hang on.

Nothing to it. :-)

I first saw this several weeks ago and found it to be an amazing description of the load and pop. Thanks for reminding me of its existence. Hulk… BOOST!!!
