Would you suggest learning both feet off the same side or straddle style (one foot off each side) first?

Both feet on the same side.

Sitting down is probably the easiest trick to learn on a hydrofoil. Agree. I learned sitting down right after the 180 carve in my first year if i remember corectly. But it took me way longer to stand back up foiling... Both can not even compare to strapless tack that i am strugling with now though...

One or two or three straps, or hook(s): Count 0
Strapless: Count 2

Sitting down is easy, standing back up is a bit harder. Big differences between foils, i can not do it on some...
Here is a short video of me, while i was learning to stand up a few months ago.

Hi,
Is the 3 bolts alu strut becoming a standard? Are many producers using the same profile or does it only look identical?
Greetings,
