I didn't drag the PA backwards but that action is easily mimicked in the beach. All it would take is a wave going back to sea to pull a bunch of sand into the plate.
I think the secret will be to use a sponge to block accumulation, or take off the wheels in the water at launch and then put them on in the water during landing. Or a front slit needs to be cut to create flow.
I've even cleaned the plate from tidelands landings and seen fine silt. I'm surprised Hobie hasn't addressed this.
I also don't think this issue is addressable while on the water. The sand sits beneath the transducer so pouring water from above may have minimal impact. Also, the fact the water is being forced up through the plate will minimize any flow from being poured above.
