I often seem to be riding low despite continually telling myself for the last 1-2 years to get higher on the mast. Part of it is being a conservative rider, but as a heavier rider (100kg) it really hurts my glide in waves as well as lower general speed and of course that limits your riding skills.

Things i've been working on...
- feel surface bobbles on the foil when you get high enough
- when getting on a wave or swell, do a small pump up to boost my height
- look down at foil to see how low/high in the water it is

Another tip i saw was getting a long enough board leash so it drags in the water when you're too low, so you get direct feedback to move higher.

What's worked for you?
