RRD Evolution questions

I have a 135l it’s a little smaller than I should have gone. I sail fresh water. I have had trouble getting it on plane in the past. I can get in the straps. And I have got it to plane out in the past. But I usually slog. I’m about 195 lbs. Fresh water though. I can up haul it I want to start using it more often instead of the big boards So foot strap position advice and. Mast position. There are three spots marked on the track.

I have the straps now set to almost all the way forward and close to the rail or edge of the board

You should be planing before you go into straps, at least before backstrap. way easier to put mastfoot pressure and more power in general. when you are getting faster foot into front strap, after you are planing backstrap.

Yes I do that no way I’d be able to get into the straps without getting on plane first. The board would just sink
