I'm using a Levitaz Raze board. I'm 193 cm tall. The back strap is in the most backward position, the front strap is in the frontest position. I still feel my legs are not spread enough. Does any other tall rider has the same problem? Do other boards that are meant to use Levitaz R5 allow you to have a bigger stance?
- I heard that Connor Bainbridge uses Bluefox boards and someone who is 203 cm tall uses Alex Aguera boards. Does anybody has experience with them?

Re: Levitaz Raze for tall riders
I don't have a Raze board. How far apart are the strap positions? I can compare to my Tarifa Foil board if you like. I would assume they have similar spacing but maybe not.

Blue fox is Connors own brand so it will be what ever he wants it to be

Re: Levitaz Raze for tall riders
That looks like you have the front footstrap all the way back instead of forward. Is that correct?aendorphin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 8:23 amLevitazRaze.pngtkaraszewski wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 5:48 pmI don't have a Raze board. How far apart are the strap positions?

Here is the official image about the Levitaz Raze board. With red color I have showcased the position of my straps. So the distance between the front and back straps is about 60cms. What about yours?

Re: Levitaz Raze for tall riders
You are right. I made a bad image. Here is the fix. The distance is not clear based on this. Can you make a measurement on your board?tkaraszewski wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 11:33 amThat looks like you have the front footstrap all the way back instead of forward. Is that correct?

My board is in a bag in my car. I should be able to get it out and measure it this afternoon for you.aendorphin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 12:44 pmYou are right. I made a bad image. Here is the fix.

Re: Levitaz Raze for tall riders
My board is about the same. Maybe 1-2cm narrower actually.

Re: Levitaz Raze for tall riders
So as I understand the biggest possible stance is the same. I guess then I require a big stancetkaraszewski wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 4:34 amMy board is about the same. Maybe 1-2cm narrower actually.
