Harness and Footstraps

[Tom A]

I'm having a few problems being in the harness and getting into my footstraps on my Carve 145. I'm probably a larger than averga sailor (6'7" and 95kg). When I get into the harness I find that I tend to just turn upwind. I think this is because i'm putting too much weight on my back foot, but because of my height I find it difficult to weight my front foot fully unless I'm fully planing.

Linked into this I struggle to get into the footstraps as I tend to over weight the back of the board. I do have the straps on the most forward and inboard setting.

Any suggestions??
