Seat To Waist Harness transition - tips pls

Hi gang, so I’ve been experimenting w my mystic seat harness by not using the leg straps, part of a goal to move to waist if I can, and I’ve realized now that it puts more strain on my back.

I suppose I need to work out and get fit and keep on my path? But Why?

My thought was that my toe side will be easier with a “real” waist harness as opposed to my soft mystic thing.

Ultimately that is my key question here, will waist make my toeside a little easier or no difference?

And then after that - any tips on this for me on the type of harness or other ideas?

Intermediate rider 6’3” 220 and typically on a 13m in 15mph winds.

Ride Engine leash for a foil, ok for a TT?

lost my board and tired of body dragging in high chop to find it - leashes are a big No No, i know, but here I just found a highly engineered leash for Foil - do folks think I can use this safely w a TT in windy conditions? or is the risk of tangling just as bad as the risk of the board hitting me in the face? and if no - has anyone invented something other than a Go Joe for visibility of a board that is upside down in chop?

Naish Pivot 12m fully inflated, no leak, but flappin in the wind like a car wash air dancer ??

What could this be? 2023 kite. Is it possible that a new bladder will fix this and make the kite stiffer in bigger winds? Other kiters are telling me my kite looks like it’s leaking
but it’s not. 🤷‍♂️
