I will test this next time.
I notice a big difference in where I put my back foot, in front of the mast or on the mast . on or behind the mast is way better for carving and swinging and playfulness.kit3surfer wrote: ↑Mon Jun 29, 2020 10:53 pmI just saw some footage of me going comfortably upwind and recognized that my backfoot is a couple of inches in front of the mast. Is the mast position correct or should I remove it a bit backwards?
Sure, feet position relative to mast and wings is the number one factor.Peter_Frank wrote: ↑Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:46 pm(...)
Once up foiling, your feet will be at the exact same place, relative to the mast and wing, no matter if you have moved your mast forward or rearward.
Only difference is, you will stand further forward or rear on the board of course
Assuming you are strapless of course, as you dont write about straps...
