Michael, any problems going upwind when strapless? I feel like I really have to work the straps to get the windward rail down and head upwind. Or maybe there’s other problems with my technique.
Are you using both straps? I'm using only front straps and modulating my rear foot position a lot: Will go to the upwind rail of the board for upwind sailing while leaning my body out/extending legs as far as comfortable, middle for cruising, and on the downwind rail for jybes and cruising downwind. Also moving the rear foot forward when going faster and back when going slow. Tried using a rear strap before but found the position weird. Just purchased some half strap foot hooks to try out for the rear though
