How to point higher?

I want to improve my VMG when racing and i clearly need some work with pointing higher.

Any tips??

Is it different to the NJS CF6? Nils is the designer and it looks very similar. It's an improved version of the CF6, it's fast and it feels easier to ride downwind, I need more time on it before I can give a more complete review. wow, thanks for sharing, board looks awesome :thumb: do you have anym...
