With only a short time to kill left in my day, I wanted to hit the water immediately so I sailed for an hour or so without wings in about 10 to 15 wind. It was a riot. As Matt said, it was no problem getting a hull up at all. I am sure others have done it, and it doesn't hurt a thing to try it out.
Another cool wing option is to put the wings in the towing position and stretch a tarp across them for a great and comfortable tent on the beach. There is plenty of room for two
Try it all! Think for yourself, Question authority...
