I had the hook other way around in mid eighties, as at the time the boom (bit that you hold on to in windsurfing) was about chin high when standing on the beach, the only way to hook into your harness line, was to hook upwards, you were also not able to unhook if you are to high up, make sense?. Any way all past and gone, as boom level is usaly shoulders today
