What's the best stance for maximum speed windwing foiling?

Make sure you have a bit of poo stance happening for style

I'm amazed how far back he is on that board.

that is a particular case.
the Patrik boards have the usual US boxes for plate connection but also a far back deep Tuttle box to be able to use wind-foil foils.

When he went for the race, he was using a wind-foil foil, (not a wing-foil foil).

so when you would use the same board, with a wing-foil foil, your foil would be way forward, and as these, also your back foot will be more forward.

Not necessarily, windfoil foils have their wing placed much farther forward relative to the mast than wingfoil foils, meaning you have to stand further forward. Between my F-One Levo 900 and my phantom S 940 I have to put my backfoot around 20cm further forward for the levo when winging. If he is using a windfoil foil his back foot is very very far back relatively speaking.

I was not using a windfoil foil, as they have a much longer fuselage than a wingfoil one, therefore you need to be much further forward compare to the mast,
also longer fuselage is for sure more stable but slower for winging. for racing I use a kite race foil, with harness and 44" harness lines
I have a very wide stance to get lower on the board and have better control

thanks

Hi,so your where the rider in the video?if so than i was wrong. I just had a talk with Henning (from Patrik) where we talked about a race, where "a" Patrik rider won. He had a lot more speed compared to F-One riders. F-One came into discussion as they spend a lot of money into there new foil fabric. And then henning said, that for this race the rider used a windfoil-foil.

So it looks it was another race, and not the one in the video.

And yes, he also mentioned the thing that food need to be more forward , that is also the reason why the tuttle box is totally in the back.

but great that you put some light into the tunnel :)

interesting to hear that have the wide stance to get lower on the board.

Does this also mean you used a very small front and backwing?
As I still just have a very huge frontwing (looking for smaller one, but still unclear which one... ) i also go lower, but at the same time i need to go forward as my frontwing produces to much lift then.
