Dear All,
KiteFoiling:
Never tried another Foil, so I do Not know.
I ride with the Front Foot in the strap, and also Sometimes the Back Foot in the strap. But usually only Front Foot.
I adjusted my Foil Position, that at normal cruising Speed, I stand pretty balanced. So both feet same pressure.
When going slow I need more back foot pressure...
So after 5-6 linked Turns Heel to Toe and Toe to Heel my Muskels in the back leg start to "burn". So I need to Switch feet.
When going super fast I need to put almost 95% weight in the Front Foot.
question: is this normal? Is it with every Foil Like this?
Which Foil are you Riding?
This behavior is really stupid, after a slow jibe into a swell wave, and then shooting down the Wave Face. I need to shift my Body weight sooooo fast from Back Foot, to Front Foot, ... Sometimes I am Just to slow to keep the nose down.
Also when going super fast into a Turn, and suddenly loosing a lot of Speed, I really need to pay attention, Not to sink the nose.
(I have a Gong Foil, and I am super Happy, as it seems to be a great Foil for fast Progress.)
Thanks a Lot
Simon
