I've got an 80 ltr isonic. I haven't used it for a few years.
Yesterday I was finding it hard starting underpowered when I had to beachstart..mud was the main issue. I didn't want to get thrown around the front so I had my front foot against the mast base. This made it very uncomfortable and harder to bear off. I felt horrible until I got a little speed,bore off and could get in the rear strap. Very tiring.
I've been having trouble getting into the rear straps as they are outboard.
Powered was easy. Lie on the bottom, push the front of the board away, rear foot in the strap ,hook in as you come up and away we go.
Front foot in as you come up.
Yep, it's about time to get rid of that board Sue. I'll give you a few $$ for it. You must be getting to old for that thing now. ?
