When sup foiling or wing foiling do you ride with more front foot pressure, rear foot pressure or neutral I rode the other day on my winging setup with more front foot pressure and the board seem to be a lot faster less pumping on the waves just wondering opinions on foot pressure, 
That's very interesting I have always Ridden With Even pressure but after riding front foot pressure there is such a different thanks for your reply
Over the past few months I've been inching my mast forward to now where I've got it slammed to the front. I'm light at 65kgs. My back leg used to tire out and my rear thigh is noticeably larger than my front thigh. Now with the mast forward I'm definitely more front footed than before, but it feels neutral until I'm on swell, then it is pedal to the f-n metal. Last session I had to back it up after a few full speed splats overfoiling at 17 mph on some chest high unbreaking waves. Suck a crazy feeling to be all over your front leg and feeling the rear stab start to slide out and regain traction and save the impending wipeout.
You can adjust it with shims on the stab too. I prefer a neutral stance with back foot just behind mast. Feels better turning on swells I feel.
Maybe foot placement in relation to mast should not be used.
Foot placement to COE of front wing is universally applicable.
Fuse have different lengths forward of mast.

Pretty hard to see the COE 
We should be smarter than just the obvious.
Like I should telepathically know the distance of your front wing to your mast and what kind you are using.
Sorry, Ixm just not that smart.

Or location of my mast track in relation to tail
Really interesting thread - it's good to see what others think about this. I've heard some pro's saying that you should ride neutral and some say they prefer more front foot pressure. I think a lot has to do with what gear you ride, and also personal riding style.
Personally I aim to set it up so my normal ride (cruising) is neutral, so when you do something more dynamic (carve off the face etc) you have somewhere to go in terms of applying pressure on one foot or the other. It stands to reason that if your front foot is already maxed out then if you need to apply more pressure in a hurry you wont be able to apply much more pressure.
As for where your back foot should be in terms of the mast - this definitely depends on the brand, and even the model of foil - some brands your back foot will be behind the mast, but from what I've seen in videos, most seem to be slightly in front of the mast. I ride GoFoil and my back foot is always just in front, but depending on which foil I'm using there will be slight variation - for example the P180 needs my feet to be slightly forward compared to the other foils
There will never be specific rules about where a mast should be that will work for everyone. There is so much individual variation and a lot comes down to personal preference.
I generally like to ride with more front foot pressure than neutral because that is what I am used to. I feel like I can react faster with my front foot than my back foot.
I did not make my point very well. I like riding waves and turning so that is what I think about. Love putting my foot back and ripping a top turn (I think I am, anyway, looks like rollerblading on the ocean).
Different positions for different riding:
Seen a 15 year old, 1.5 year winger do that with a 5 Duotone in 17 knot gusts, SS Alien Air, i68, but twice as high. Donkey kick landed but not foiling landed. He landed, stalled to board down, then 3 pumped up.

Where was his foot?
I have Riden LF, apline, np and slingshot foils an on none of these was I able to put my foot behind the mast so iam do all my movements in the front as even to neutral as I can but iam limited to to how much I can move the mast which in turns makes mast track in the board an issue. With my slingshot set on this board it is all the way back but needs to go more but can't so now I will try to shim the rear stabilizer has anyone done this with a fixed stablizer
In both footstraps, but he has 3.
Middle of donkey kick, foot tucked under butt.

We are discussing foot pressure and placement not sure how this relates??

YOU asked.
In relation to the COE or mast? Did he have more foot pressure front or rear?
