Thanks!
what is the most plug and play out there ? i have some idea 😉 does the seven seas 1400 has less front foot than the phantom 1400 ? because i tested the phantom on another board before getting my 7 seas and my footing is neutral compared to the phantom, is it my board or is it right ?

@youdigsurf that’s a good question. I’d be guessing if I told you which one produced more lift for a given speed and AOA. My guess would be the phantom. I think you should aim for a neutral feel, but as I mentioned in the video, it’s completely up to personal preference. I hope that helps mate. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific.
Is it better to put mast further forward to create more front foot pressure when learning to switch feet?

Yes, I did this when I was learning and got so used to the feeling I’ve never moved it back again 😂. It will help you have a bit more time when in the awkward moments of both feet on the front of the board. Hope that’s helps.
transitioning from a f-one phantom 1480/275 cm to the sk8 1050/200 cm. board i ride currently is an f one 120L rocket. i am 220 lbs/105kg and have a question about starting mast position for the sk8. I usually set the phantom around the 3 position and that feels balanced to me. DO you have a recommendation for where to start the mast position on the sk8? i have done the hand under the front foils center of lift and mast position 5 sets the board level but that seems almost all the way forward in the mast tracks. Thoughts?

I would suggest starting slightly forward of your usual position.
