    Headed in after good day on Lake Travis yesterday 9/25. 97F, water temp 87. Hardly any boats out.

    Another family joined us and both kids got up on knee boards first try.

    I gave the foil another try, and still can’t get up.




    Had a repeat of the issue of being in the cruise profile and the center plate going to 100% driving the nose down at around 12-15 mph. Power off, switch off battery, and everything back to normal.

    Still no luck on the foil? Is it breaching?

    I can’t even get to standing. It immediately subs and I get pulled over it. I think I need a more buoyant board and better foil set-up for my weight.

    If the front of the board subs your weight is too far forward. What foil and board are you on?

    It’s not the front, it’s the whole board subs.

    I'm 230#, Learned on a Slingshot 4-6 x 18 x 2 1/4 this summer. It's super floatie, we call it the 'Bus'.
    It cruises when you ride it, but when you fall, for some reason it really busts you ass.

    A longer board will help you learn the technique, but then you have the law of diminishing returns. It's not responsive or easy to correct if you over shift your weight to recover.

    It sounds like a weight or feet issue. Try to put your back foot over the mast and the front foot a little wider than shoulder width.
    My other suggestion is try not to stand until you have the board skimming the surface of the water. Stay crouched with knees bent.
