On my weak side it's a bit different
but I keep on doing that to but it still feels not as familiar as on my strong side (I bet it never will..) but I don't careKeep practising!
Less efficient on toeside riding. Why?

It's all about practise.. a slider hook gives much more freedom and is great for toeside. On my dominant foot, Goofy, I don't have any difference on heel or toeside.. love riding toe side.

Keep practising!

Re: Less efficient on toeside riding. Why?
You are losing power in the kite because you are not going as much upwind. Try to go upwind by accentuating the twist in your hips, shoulders and head. Point your eyes upwind. Sometimes we lose our orientation when we jibe or tack to toeside, so we don't really focus correctly on the upwind direction. Try over-compensating. If you can achieve that upwind angle, you will maintain power in your kite.
