Yes.. 15-20 knots was pretty nice with the 6m at the start.

When it turned to 20-25 knots it was too much for the big 6m and time for the 4.6m wing.

All of a sudden it was 30-35 knots.. Time to use my little 3.6 and I was still pretty overpowered (with my foiling skills).

Great day..

DJ, Thanks for that.The camera mounted on the wing tip does a great job of checking foot placement and checking the height of the board out of the water.
(It looks like I am standing too far back with my back foot)

Thanks.. I'm still learning and no expert but it seems there's no hard a fast rules regarding foot placement yet it seems for me it's not working unless they are in the perfect spot on the board. My friend Pete is way better than me and he has his rear foot waaay back on the board and has a very wide stance.. Maybe because he was a kiter.. I'm finding it very hard to move my feet once up and foiling and if I get into my straps early I'm ok but once going and out of them I tell my feet to move and they say back to me I'm not moving.. Pretty frustrating but I found the same thing on a SUP paddling in the early days and now it's no problem at all.
