Tired of paddling out

This is not an advertisement.

Have you ever thought of a ski lift for surf spots? Tired of being in very good shape from paddling out while your co-workers are nicely plump? Envious of windsurfers who can have fun both ways, looping on the way out and off the lip airs on the way in? Wonder what happened to the adventurous innovation in surfing?

With some modifications this might be the next big thing in surfing:

Good god I hope you are kidding! Those soft, well insulated surfers, wannabes, and kooks who can't make it across the second bar transported out with ease, that's somewhere I will never surf.

Hey now that would be fun, although re-entry may be a bit painful.
