What is your boom height for foiling, measured from the top of the boom clamp to the board? Realize the use of different styles of harnesses and harness lines can affect it, so please also tell us what type of harness and line length(s) you use. And board and foil as well, in case that affects things.
Thanks

I have found 61-1/2" to work good with my Dakine Reflex seat harness and 32" lines, it allows for adjusting the height of the hook, and I have it at a similar height as a waist harness hook. Using on a Goya Bolt Pro 135 with an AFS Wind95 foil and F800 wing 1120 cm2 (2018 model year).

58" with 24" lines, DaKine Speed seat, 5'10" and almost identical to windsurf freeride setup. Harness lines maybe 3" forward.

I don't measure mine. I'm 6'4" and have mine generally set just below shoulder height.

Same as my wave gear. Perhaps 2cm lower boom.

I am 6'2" and set my boom height at 57 inches above the bottom of the extension when rigged. Starting point.
