stance between straps: ack Screw Front Strap to Front Screw Back Strap: 35 cm to 42 cm (there are 3 strap positions. ) so closest position is 35 cm and furthest 42cm
distance to mast : Front Screw Backstrap in cm behind Front Screw Mast - mid front hole on back foot strap is exactly above the front screw of the mast

Thanks for the update fun2kite !
Could you do me a huge favor and provide the Data Front Screw Backstrap in cm behind Front Screw Mast and Back Screw Front Strap to Front Screw Back Strap. You‘re looking very relaxed and most users use Front straps only or go strapless, so you would help me a lot !

You are not going for speed when riding such boards. It's mainly for freestyle / free ride fun.
Trust me, it is a LOT of fun to ride these small boards. I also though it would never want anything but my T40. Now i love the feel of the C-lite.

The problem with such boards is flex. You want exactly zero flex when hydrofoiling. That's why I can't think about any other board while I'm riding light carbon Moses T60 Sport.

You can ride Onda 633 fast and hard, that's why I prefer zero flex. But I agree that for fun an easy riding one can live with a flexy board.

Is the CF-lite available with the single front strap (foot hook) option as shown in the video?

On the video, both straps are in mid position I believe.
Front strap in the topmost front position also works well with Onda. in fact, I now prefer it to mid.
