Thank you all. As an extreme example, I checked out how they do it at Luderitz, and indeed they take a few steps then hop on around the front strap to get the forward momentum going. I will be using older G10 fins to practice lol.

Am trying an 86L/56 wide Isonic and whilst its super once on the plane over 30 knots I am finding getting going on the 1st 20m from the beach hard work compared to the hop on and bear away of more floaty larger slalom boards. Waterstarting out deep no issues, its just the beach start - I have no issues even on a 100L compared to this. Am 80kg. Weight/feet too forward and its just sticking and I cant hold the sail, too far back and am tail sinking. Apart from losing dignity I am wasting energy fast. Appreciate any clues on what the trick is with these smaller boards.
