I thought of something else (whilst getting in the straps at 3rd today):
I get myself hooked in and just barely planing and then step into the
straps. I think once you get up to full planing speed, the board's
steering becomes much more responsive to foot pressure movements.
It's more stable and forgiving at the just-barely-planing speed.
