My setup is a Temavento board with Taaroa Sword.
I always ride it with straps, but when i put my foot in the back strap it feels like i'm not in the sweet spot, feels like i'm going over the cliff.. When i put my backfoot just in front of the backstrap it feels really great.
Does this mean that i'm doing something wrong or is the position of my foil wrong?
By the way: front straps in neutral position (middle hole , there are 3), back strap most toward the nose.
thanks for any help

I have that setup and have the foot straps all the way forward for the front and back. Try moving your front ones forward. It would have bee nice to go forward even further I think, but thats where they ended up.

Could you measure the distance of the foil inserts (or edge of the base plate) to the back of you board.
This to compare with mine and to check if they are equal.
Maybe the foil should be more toward the back?
