I meant heel side one handed. Is there any benefit / point?
Foot switching isn't a problem. I always switch back to heel side
I think the beauty of it is that there's no need to foot swap with the PW. Unlike winging where you're twisted up holding the wing, riding the PW one handed toeside is relatively easy. I guess it takes one thing out of the process, foot swapping.
I personally like the feeling of leaning out frontways hanging onto the PW.
I think the pw has by nature such a small range where it rips up wind and by riding toeside you are compromising that range a little more along with angle. Now the non switchers are going to say they make the same angle toeside but I have never seen it. toeside is still loading your body up for asymmetric imbalance issue. Not as bad as winging.

Get your hand a little bit more forward on the bar.
Towards the side where harness loop is ?
Just towards the front of the bar. Think of the front of the bar as your fixed lines on a kite and your rear lines as de-power/break. If you are too near the middle of the bar, you start to choke the pwing.

Far out that looked hard Rob.Hats off to you for doing a vid as well and managing everything else.So I'm wondering at 70 whether it's all worth it?I still crash winging at times ??
Much harder than winging.

These are the angles I get. Same heel and toeside.

Yes but how much consistently better and more comfortable could it have been through a broader wind range.
I can do both and the difference is stark. You know it. 
They are not bad and probably better than some can do switch with other brands, but not great. Send me your bad days where your a getting a little over powered.

Hilly are you tacking upwind in that and not DW jibes ?

hahaha overpowered angles are better
Tacking seems a lot harder on a Para compared to a Wing, but when it comes together seamlessly it feels fantastic !
- and backhand tacks are trickier again than toeside tacks, & my hit rate is lower for those, at this stage ...
