Cuda V2 + Lift tuning, mast position, etc

Downwind Foil
1

Interested how others are positioning their mast on the new barracuda
Specifically if there are others with this combo riding US east coast bay or ocean bumps
I’m setup almost to the front of the box
90kg rider beginner dw but consistently covering a mile to a mile half on ocean dw runs - 220 hax + 32 glide seems to be ok - interested if any larger riders have success with other combos

My rear quad burns after around 6 minutes on foil, thinking to try smash all the way up in the box, maybe try mast shim, different tails etc.

Also just feel more time learning to be efficient between bumps, I’m around 3 months in sup dw (prone/wing for 4 yrs)

Also using qb 88 blade about an inch taller than me (6’4” is my height) I can get up decently (timing probably isn’t great but getting better) - what paddles/length are you having success with?

Try 0.5 or 1 deg plate shim the thick edge in front.

I’m not on cuda but lift needs to be far in front of the tracks overall.

Thanks will give it a go
