Downwind speed takes more bravery I think...

Tips for downwind speed:
1. Deep sail, let off your outhaul
2. Long lines, extend your harness lines
3. Upright stance, more wind on your sail
4. Twist, while hooked in, angle your body where you want to go
5. Front foot in
6. Back foot out - and a bit forward
7. Weight through the harness lines
8. Angle offwind to control height... fast angle of the foil to control lift, and reset quickly too.
9. Too deep is slow, it can be quicker to sail a bit broader (less deep), faster, and chuck in 2 perfect air gybes!
10. Small foils are faster (but can't get upwind as well).
11. Fly High to reduce foil-mast drag
