Should moove back my rear foot rather?
Your nice nemo board looks a bit as if front foot stands on a lower or at least not higher level as backfoot, this can cause you problems at higher speeds, check my posts at page 10. You may use shims to avoid to have a to much angled back leg at higher speeds.

An advice to newbies: get enough speed and lift gently. Kangarooing is a sign of to low speed.
Yes, good point: Always try to not take of before having overtaken the Kangoros Speed, otherwise the Kangoro will consume a lot of force. That's why slow wings and big boards for first tries are much much easier. Think spots tuna will be too hard at the moment. I let a guy, who very succesfuly tested my Element-Mono before, try the Aspect-Mono and he was not able to get it into flight.
But started to really love the Aspect-Mono, even if its speed range is not wider, it is higher and even if it is still not a boosting tool as a normal stabi-freerace. It is now fast enough to boost pretty well with it, had several nice boardoffs with long time to get back in both straps and prepare for landing.
And every last sessions I tried and documented my top speeds have been around or over 40 km/h. So now Monofoiling is still not fast, but it is no more just slow. And it is possible to hold about well 30 km/h for boosting and I was also able to ride not just with a higher upwind VMG than most foilers, but with a similar downwind VMG as experienced friends with fast freeride setups.
Never expected to ever become that fast and now no more no need to go even faster. All wipe outs are still very compfortabel and save, uncomparable with the danger of 50 km/h+ on a normal foil.
Another good point for me: I don't need to run for 3 or 4 hours to have fun, but 2 hour is mostly enough to be physically and mentally completely exhausted. You don't feel it during riding, but your body is trained on a much higher level than on a stabifoil.
Have seen the other topic and will post there when I got more time as well as two new videos about sit foiling and mono-boosting
