That looks great. When can we expect it to hit the market?

So you lay the wet rig down on the sand after your session.............
Or you have to rig up on the sand before your session............
Or your rig washes in with the surf all the way to shore, where the water is full of suspended sand.........
There are lots of little spaces on that around all those rollers.
But grass must be nice.

interesting idea, but point loading on the boom unless the device spreads the load out from the lines

People have been using mono lines for years, nothing but point loading, I see no issue with that,,,,,,,,, just sand.

Yeah I am even thinking just salt in the very small locking lever, as soon as there is any pressure required to move it, the lever is small and fiddly.
I'd be interested to see if they've included any self cleaning grooves or something

Do the lines shorten as well on the water ?

Yes, the mechanism looks prone to sand jamming .

The real neg I see is the ropes coming out will swing around too much , just what I need a moving target

Fantastic idea! I heard of problems with plastic harness lines which can cut our hands when we slide down the boom. Maybe this isn't an issue in a racing only application?
