Great to see you on the Foil Drive. Having Josh & Ben giving you tips will shorten your learning curve. One tip I picked up from Ben was to trace the water surface when it's choppy.
The foot shuffle is tricky. I agree the weight distribution shift with only body position doesn't quite cut it. Do you do it before on wave (like when arc'ing onto the swell with motor still pushing) or after up and fully on foil only? When my feet land in the wrong place nothing goes right, that's for sure.
I have been Foil Driving on the HA line. In this video I’m on the 1180. I used that for learning and pumping. Also done a couple downwinders on the 1180. Depending on the size, I’m riding the HA1080 and 980. I like the HA for the extra glide and efficiency. The MA will work better for newer foilers and for the breach recovery.

Just noticed at the end you said front foot then back? Is that critical?
Can you film a video using different Armstrong foils with Foildrive? Looks like you were using an MA?
Yes, more Armstrong… foil drive ok too, but add Armstrong in other topics… thank you 😁🤙🏽

Great video, what was the wing Josh was riding?
