Sruf Launching a Hobie

Okay, so I've noticed a number of you guys are converting over to Hobies. This has gotten me thinking about converting also due to rotator cup issues that I have developed making paddling difficult. I have thought about one issue that gets discussed on many fish reports...Surf Launches.
Given the average weight difference between a Hobie (especially the PA) and most other Kayaks, does anyone find it more challenging to surf launch (refering to paddling speed) due to the added weight?
Any insight or input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
FFY
