At the 12 minute mark In the above video about switching your feet the advice is: "If you have too much front foot pressure move your foil forward." ( I think he must of meant that if you have too much back foot pressure move the foil forward, however, the host concurred with the statement). Anyway, I disagree with both of them. I would move my foil back for less lift and therefore less front foot pressure, which should help balance the board.

I agree and made the same comment. Funny that Damien replies to almost every comment but not that one. It's not a problem to make a mistake but they really should clear it up. Imagine following that advice until you can't move the mast any farther forward?

Finding the foil balance point.

Heliboy999 -- just out of curiousity -- do you still wind foil or have you come over for good to the dark side?

I found this very useful, particularly the bit with the Infinity i99 as that's the foil I am using - I had it set way too far fwd for my first sessions, up and foiling now :)
