We launch our Hobie 16 all the time from the concrete ramp.
When we pull up we get the stink-eye from the Fish-heads but when we pull away from the dock before any of them because they are still jackin around with whatever! It makes me feel just a little good!
The key is just having everthing organized and ready to go with a partner before you get anywhere near a ramp! So when you get there all you have to do is toss the stick and sails up and get outa there!!!!
It's no different for us with our stink-boat! Preperation and maintenance! There is nothing more that pisses me off than having to wait for some hillrod while they try to jump a battery then load coolers and poles Ohhh and then we forgot our Ciggs so they just lumber back to there car to get them! I guess it's just because their Momma's never taught them a litte common sense and respect.

Be organized and Rig and sail Fast!!
