Voilà des infos qui m'intéressent. Je pense rajouter des inserts sur ma planche, car effectivement, j'avais envie de tester plus arrière. Mais je pensais aussi modifier mon 'stance'. À la réalisation, j'avais positionné mes straps assez plus écartés que en aileron. C'était dans l'idée d'avoir plus de contrôle longitudinal, mais finalement, ce n'est pas très confortable.
Avez vous testé de ne déplacer que les straps avant ?
To me, it feels like front strap position is the "limit" to the power you can have, the position of the backfoot is the actual power. The further back the front foot, the more power, you can always compensate by not sailing back foot in the strap, but its a lot less comfortable to create more power if you have the front foot too far forward and the front strap greatly helps with transferring power to the kit when pumping.
If you have trouble flying out of jibes for example, try moving the front straps back and leaving the backstraps, this will give you more lift with your backfoot similarly placed.
On my smallest board, my frontstraps can move 10cm fore-aft, but my backstraps can only move in-out and are fixed with the frontscrew aligned with the front boxscrew. I ended up moving my frontstraps closer together than standard (moving the frontstraps all the way back, which is 6cm closer than standard for a freestyle board). I really like this because its way more manouvrable and easily allows to keep flying through jibes with 1m smaller than the straps further apart.
Placing the feet farther apart feels more stable in the straights, but might require you to pull out your front foot and place it behind the strap in light winds or during underpowered /low speed jibes. I prefer this on my race setup, because its either fairly stable (light) wind and flat water so I dont necesarily need my front foot in the strap or during jibes; (1m wide board + racefoil + 4-cam 10.0 is stable enough without always using the strap) or I'm overpowered and need my front foot that far forward to control the kit.
