So i decided to try some backloops and jumps and inserted my back footstrap in the most forward positon of my T40 Moses Board, this position sits my backfoot behind the foil and i normaly put my foot over or slightly in front on the foil.
So now with the foot in the strap ive no balance on the foil, it seems ive to put my weight much forward all the time and feels completly unnatural...
The question is: do i need to get used to this 2 stances, foot on strap and foot out of strap, or im missing something here?
Thanks
Not sure how experienced you are Pedro - you learn REALLY fast is my guess, but not that many days/years on the foils yet ?
Most beginners stand a lot further forward.
The better you get, the more you move your rear foot rear, as then you can push and turn and do tricks much better, and still feel in balance.
Also, when you have to jibe, you will put your rear foot in front of the strap of course, and it is important that the trim is not wrong now, in order to make a foiling jibe
I can not tell if your trim is wrong - but I can say for sure, that most riders find the rearwards rear strap position too far rear at first, but later they find it just perfect
