Gunnar,
Thanks. I get on the board using the wings leading edge as buoyancy on the leeward side. I balance on my knees low as I try to position myself balanced mid point on the board. I pick the wing up and fly it to get some forward movement. I then straighten myself up whilst still on my knees, I step forward with front leg and the stand with my back leg, I think I could be more precise in centering my front foot but I’m not really sure where my back foot ends up.  I get some speed, feel the foil start to have an effect but then usually as I’m not centered it rails to the windward side.
Hope this explanation of what I’m doing helps. It is normally choppy or on shore white water waves coming in.

Mike
