Brilliant !
Hey, thanks for noticing my video. A lot of time has passed since that session, and I’d like to share one of the biggest things I’ve learned since then.
For wave riding, I now take my back foot out of the rear strap and place it closer to my front foot. Having a narrower stance over the foil gives me much better balance and makes the board feel far more controlled in the waves.
When I want to jump or go fast, I put both feet back in the straps, of course.
This is how I ride now.
Yes! And, I like your YouTube comment of "Windfoiling is the art of looking either incredibly cool or completely ridiculous, with very little in between."...
I'm glad I've kept practicing as the kit feels so comfortable now.

Great videos keep them coming. I also love the way you talk about the day.
I ride strapless in the waves as I find it easier for me to move around the board. And have actually started moving my back foot slightly across the board depending on whether I am carving heel side or toe side.
I believe you can do more advanced manoeuvres with straps but I am not attempting anything too advanced.
I've compromised, I have front foot straps and one half foot strap at the back. I like the security of the front foot straps and the freedom to move my back foot around when wave riding with the half strap.
