The platform re-entry is common for those boats. It really is easier in the type of swells that they drift dive in. Personnally though I much prefer a good wide ladder. Belly Board platforms are rough on the knees and require a bit of strength to pull up onto. I have learned to use the wave action to assist and it makes it a bit better.
Well - Ive been in swells before and much prefer the ladder re-entry. A major down side to the platforms is if you have integrated weights systems. When you come up on the platform, it can activate your release and cause your weight pockets to fall out - I know - I left 2 of them behind in WPB!!
