Pictures. Ot availble atm, but went to hookipia today, and there was a queue to launch!
There where already 30+ sailors out and a fairly small area where you could sail between the tea baggers and the surfers

Even a 10yr old went out.
All doGG

And how many on water ?

What size boards were they using?

How long harness lines?

Slider or fixed

Booties or no booties?

I sailed Hookipa. We sailed up from somewhere downwind of Hookipa because we felt totally intimidated to sail off the main beach. When I got there did one run straight in to the launching area, got out onto the beach, had a little rest and watched how sailors were getting out the 10 metre little space of launch area and the dumping shore break. I felt so nervous just trying to launch out there not wanting to look like a dickhead if the shore break got me. You had to time it well. Phew all timed well, sailed back out and back home. That was my sail at Hookipa, well at least I've sailed it and launched there. It's a very intimidating feeling just doing a run out there thinking I don't want to get in the way of the pro's (if there were any there that day). Mike, Pete & Dave piked it, they didn't even sail to the beach.
