Not to give you a hard time but just a heads up.

Compared to other breakwalls like Long beach MDR or Dana, King Harbor is a small area to hoop, it can get really crowded really fast, and you can only hoop certain areas.

If you post a lot of info about it don't be surprised if you start seeing a lot more people there, and the more hoopers that work it, the more uptight the harbor patrol is going to get.

Whatever you do: do not hoop around the harbor entrance especially on the inside of the outer breakwall. The entrance is very narrow by boating standards and the surge will push your floats right out into the part of the channel all the boats use as they turn the corner.

The reason they are telling to stay away from the big horseshoe pier is because hooping there is incredibly dangerous. If a boat catches one of your ropes in their prop and stalls they are going to end up smashing right into the pier. Like people could die and you'd be liable. Pretty much everything from the main pier to the harbor entrance on the shore side is off limits for this reason.

In fact the deal with Redondo is except for the West outside and inside in the middle almost the whole harbor is a high traffic boat area and if things go wrong there's not a lot of space for error. If there's one person hooping the harbor patrol might let things slide, for a while but if you get a lot of guys hooping in areas that might impeded boat traffic or create a dangerous situation for the boats they will crack down for safety reasons. They could care less about hoop netting, to them its all about protecting the boats that use that harbor, that's their job. That's why the harbor patrol is uptight, that's why they are going to ask for you to show your PFDs, a flashlight, and tell you to move if you hoop in front of the piers, or if they think your activities will interfere with boat traffic in any way.
