Simon - perseverance

I got out 100m up the beach where it's a little easier

Thanks I'll give that a try it looks like less wear and tear to the sail. I find coming in harder.

Looks like the sea floor shelf drops off really quickly at your beach JJ, and that's the main issue with east coast Florida, you walk out, it gets deep, but within 20 feet it switches back to waist deep for another 30-40 feet and then back to deep, so you have 2 shore breaks to contend with.

When I launched one time using the heavier hover glide foil with the wizard 130 I held the kit/foil mast so long waiting for a break in the shore dump that I ended up with a partial bicep tear .

Simon's method looks interesting, but man did it look like the foil gets close to his face at times!

Ok, but going out is the easy part. It's coming back in that is the real challenge.

I reckon coming in is easier holding the gear on the fuse and mast as Simon does to go out.
Ride in on then fall behind the last set wave, drop down and jump off when touch sand, point the board to the beach and let waves break on your back pushing you in.
Easy as long as you have clear wind to fly the sail
