Hello, I'd like to make people on the beach try dockstarting and pumping, so I thought of anchoring my rigid inflatable boat in front of it and tie an inflatable water platform to it. I've seen one online that is 3 metres by 3, 15cm high. What do you guys reckon, would it stay still with a person on its edge trying to dockstart or would it wobble about too much? Consider that I wanna make people try this for their first time so I need to give them an ideal set up.

Yes it works but needs to be anchored well or have someone holding it against the take-off direction.

I'm new so can't post links yet but look up "French_foil" on instagram, they posted a clip doing just that on July 6th, floating platform hooked up to their semi-rigid boat, seems to work for dockstarting
