Horst, the tracks still seem a bit back for a 150 cm board. You may want to check that again.
Can you comment on pumping a mono? Difficult for me and others have said the same.
Yes I agree, I made a little error, so tried to correct it by pushing tracks another 2 cm forward, not sure if early enough and Groove will change it, anyway it will be ok, both ways as:
Even if the Groove tracks are 29 cm long instead of normal tracks with just 24 cm which means around double adjusting range with 10 cm, instead of normaly just 5 cm.
So even then it will always be a compromise and not even all mono foils will fit to it, but it can be that a few stabifoil will. But I think most won't.
Actually I plan to use the board with a Levitaz Cruizer 1000 cm² Wing that has just a gap of around 1 cm between wings trailing and struts leading edge and additionally is pretty much arrowed so not just by mono but also by this pushes point of lift further towards strut. So it will be ok, when it will be pretty much forward as, I expect and shown in the new drawing. On the other hand there are wings as my Gong Curve 1100 cm² has at a similar cord about 5 cm inbetween wing and strut and no arrowed shape so I would expect to push it 5 cm back in the tracks. Would not matter to much as I will sell it anyway but wings as the Moses Onda and others I am intersted could need even more backwards position so I tried to stay compatible for all those wings just in the mono setup for sure, as with stabi most wouldn't fit anyway, at least without pushing the straps full forward...
and about pumping:

Is there a specific "mono only" rationale for the change to low beam that doesn't apply for a foil with a stabiliser?
Legitimate question, as seen it is not all black and white. A wide board is good for compfortable take of without to much pumping effort.
But a narrow has the advantage to allow higher inclination for more sportive 360s, more sportive jumping, etc. that's where the connection to a sportive monofoil is.
Also not connected 1:1 to monofoiling but what I think is necessary to have the best control and safety at the strap setups, which I use for all my boards & monofoils, you may find here:
