Really loving the foil--what a feeling of flying. 15 sessions, most recent 5 on 2018 Wizard 125. Previous 10 on Dialer which was very difficult to control. Wizard so much easier to manage height. Getting long flights now, no flying jibes yet. Haven't uphauled this much since 1981! Got to get myself a pair of knee pads. 6'-1", 180 lbs/82k. Would all you wonderful contributors here please offer some tips on stance, railing board, and harness use. Yesterday on Retro 7.0 in 14-17 mph with some 20+ gusts (according to nearby airport). i76 wing, 90cm mast, sail in middle of track. Using only Dakine half straps on front which are working.

When I'm flying I'm really sheeted in because there isn't much apparent wind. I'm going fast, board mostly level. Sail is straight up. I can't seem to get balanced if I try to get the windward rail down and lean sail to windward as in azymuth and can17 avatars. Maybe it's just light wind. A little railing and the board really screams upwind, which is amazing. I also can't get my harness lines right. Since I'm sheeted in and my arms are bent, arms getting tired. I straighten my arms which is more comfortable, sort of like a slogging stance on a fin board when the wind is very light. I've had to move my harness lines way forward because the pull from the booms is way forward. Can't get comfortable in the harness. Is my setup wrong or maybe I will just figure things out over time?

Thanks for any tips. Thanks to all who contribute here. I read every post.
