Hi Tom, brilliant explanation ... totally clear now ... Just a pity that I cannot go on the water to test it (1 °C cold, no wind, no sun ...). But the next clinic will come, hopefully soon ;-). Keep your knees bend :-)))))
Hi, great video. I am small and light, with a short leg span so I need to have the front and back straps at their minimum span on my quad. Can you advise me on fin and mast foot position? I like to ride a van ( half way between lorry and car) ?
Hello Frans, you want to bring the Board as flat on the water as possible, so create lift at your tail. If wind is light, and you are standing behind mastfoot you need "counterbalance" forward so more pressure forward> mastfoot forward.
awesome, thank you, greeting from LaVentana Mexico!

Very nice. I definitively prefer the small car to the big truck feeling :). Mast base back and fins forward.
Nice ! Occasionally it can be a good idea to drive a truck to keep control. Have Fun sailing !!
good analogy!
Clear and easy, now to try it!

I have a small board for my weight, feels a bit difficult to go upwind and plane, should I go for a more truck-setup style?
Why is it that mast foot forward makes getting planing more easy. Many say light winds early planing is mast foot back and boom up? Thanks!
