Hi all,

I've just bought a 2006 JP Super X 106l and was blown away on my first outing by it's speed and acceleration.

I had the foot-straps in the outboard setting but only on the 3rd (out of 4) most back setting, and can therefore still move both straps about 2cm further back.

Does moving the straps further back generally increase maximum speed?

I would have imagined so as there would be more lift on the front of the board and less wetted surface area....

Any comments?
