Just made the move from a 5' board to a 4-6. I'm 195 lbs. Dang- knew there'd be a big difference- but shocked how much the board disappears- how much less lift is needed, the turns. I went from having the mast 1/2" from all the way forward to... after some trial and error/catapults... almost all the way in the back. Thinking I need to change to a smaller stab.
I know it's all about time on the water but... any tips/feedback on your experience making this transition? Paddling/position on the board, gear/foil changes? Bit of a challenge which I knew- but I'm pretty psyched at what this will open up in performance- turns- and I hope my pumping.
