I'm sure he could afford to pay someone to do it for him.

...oh, you mean on his truck?

apparently our windsurfing sport is "outdated" according to certain kite surfers.
hey why do they take the jetski out with the equipment and set up in the water?

they launch off the jetski because there is no real beach there to launch from . its all rock shelves and cliffs. The wind clsoe in around the cliffs is all over the place.

The other Option is to launch at ho'ikpa and sail up wind to it but its a fair way and the boards they use are not really designed for going up wind.

There's a good scene in the Robby Naish: RIP video where him and another guy are launching at Jaws by jumping off some rocks in to the water with their gear on the back of a wave and then they have to drift out a few hundred metres before they get in to the wind. The other guy gets sucked in by this huge set and washed across the rocks and destroyed.

After that they probably decided it was easier to take a jetski ;-)
