Looks exactly like my struggle!

@edwinb60 Just some proposals that worked for me: when you're missing a bit of pull to get onto the board it can help to kind of try to "sit on your back foot" when getting up, meaning to get the body a bit closer to the board, so you need less force from the sail. When you made it onto the board the nose tends to go into the wind, so you place your foot next to the mast base (as you did) and at the same time let your hands move a bit more to the back of the boom. I would propose for your front hand to place it where the blue area of your boom starts, and extend your front arm. That should allow to get the nose of the board out of the wind. Then bend your knees a bit, to have a bit of a buffer in case you get a gust to avoid a catapult. Just a few centimeters here and there make all the difference I suppose...have fun!
