Thanks guys, I think definitely the width is more important that the volume in chop. I had my 4th session yesterday and am kneeling, flying the wing for movement and standing better each time. My front foot placement is getting better and I am more aware of the back foot. I got up on the foil 3 times yesterday for a few seconds before crashing by tilting the board too much and leaning back too much on the wing ( like a windsurf Sail), so am becoming more aware of what’s going on. I have purchased a skim board arch bar which I’m going to stick on the back of my board to help my foot find the Centre. I also found my shorter homemade wing leash easier too. So progressing, I feel slowly each time, I’m committed to my 6’ Takuma wing sup now as can’t afford to change and get a 6m wing.
I have found a less choppy spot along the coast and also a lake I think I can use as well as another spot that will be good in two wind directions at low tide. So I’m hoping the flatter water will help. I’m also trying to get a mate to tow me from his boat to help my foiling.
Thanks for the help and I’m leaving my kite gear in the garage til I’ve
**** wing foiling.
