Slingshot 76 and Hover 122 - Questions after first flight
So managed to get in the water yesterday - i have to admit i find it hard to maintain a comfortable elevation - felt way too high and then over foiled many times.

Im 87kg - my 15 yr old son is 75kg (and was way way more comfortable than me - seemed to dial in super quick)
We were using 5.7m Blade...and mast in the SS "Position" B on the 90cm mast.
We put the pedestal within 1 inch of the rear
Wind was too light light and gusty....then got up in the end to the extent i was super powered on Futura 124 + 7.5NCX (Force 5) and then i couldnt keep the foil in the water

Some newby questions / observations - please feedback if you have insights (or used this board/ foil combo):
1. I tried it in Position B - at almost at the rear of the foil track...but i felt it still had too much lift a lot of the time - so i will move it to the very rear (about another 1 inch back) next time. Does anyone use position A as an alternative? What would this achieve?
2. Front Footstraps were all the way fwd - and still at times i felt i couldnt get enough toe pressure to maintain control. Back straps were in the middle (i think). Is this a technique rather than set up thing? Should i ignore rear straps for now?
3. Mast foot - i had it in rear which i think is a mistake...i think it needs to be further fwd to help keep lift down / more controlled?

ThanksNorthy
