NOTE: When Haley paddles out he paddles out by himself on a SUP. No boats taking him out through the lineup. No Jetski assist.
He may get rescued by a friendly 'saftey patrol' when he crashes on a wave but he gets out on his own. Haley said it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to paddle out on December 8th, 2020. That's more than an hour of 8 to 15 feet of whitewater pounding you.
The total distance needed to get from inside the break through the Mushroom or Blackhand reef system safely into the channel is ~300 hundred yards. That amounts to 12 feet per minute.
