Ok ,I'm hauling up the sail its in position and the board won't head where its ment to go it just stays @90deg or even goes backwards,mostly it goes forwards but still at 90,once I pick up a bit of mometum it straightens out and goes forward,I found that if I put my front foot way past the mast base it helps rotate in the right direction.will stronger wind elp .thanks ledgends.

always uphaul with the front foot in front of the mast, and balance weight on your feet as you uphaul so the board stays across the wind (or nose of the board slightly downwind).



Stronger wind will make all problems worse. Learn to do it right in stuff-all wind first
