I also move my mast back a fraction when waves get a little bigger. When waves are small I try and optimize the weight distribution (SUP) so that it is optimal for pumping, when it's bigger I find moving the mast back gives me slightly more time to sort out my feet before the foil lifts during take-off. I only move it about 2cm.
On my wing board I rarely move it once I've found the optimal trim but board is smaller so there is less swing-weight.
How is you DW journey going ? I remember you starting the process and curious what you have learned and where you're up to mate.
Haha - don't want to hijack thread, but in short - a lot of wing down-winging which is just easier than with a paddle. Have managed 10km without touching handles, as my best run to date, and the extended time on bumps, has motivated me to order a dwd specific SUP board. I still can't keep a Foil-SUP going the entire run. TOW (Time on Water), body-weight and gear is everything. Running out of years, so it's now or never.
) if I move the mast around.
