I mounted a front footstrap on my ss space pickle (guessed) ,no rearstrap.I'm still an infant kiter but it seems that even with the foil mounted all the way back my rear foot is only about a foot from my front foot.If I put my back foot further back it seems to be too far back and foil seems to pop up too much with less control.Not sure if I should add more inserts further forward or wait till I have more time on water. I know exactly where the sweet spot is for my rear foot,maybe move front ,how much? Whats the stance width on a stock foilboard ?
Dont move the inserts more forward, as they are extremely far forward now, with your setup when all the way back in the track
Wait till you get more time on the water, and your feet will magically move further rear, and often a wider stance also
If your foil is in typical "normal" trim (and this you can change with shims if needed later), I would say your rear foot should stand 5-8 inch behind the center of the mast, and not in front, with this forward front strap position, so you get a 26-29 inch stance (66-74 cm) which is quite wide but maybe needed, and preferred by some.
With bigger wings more wave orientated, you should actually stand even further rear (meaning even wider stance on your setup).
Maybe these threads can help you somewhat ?
