in a topper i'd leave the board down just enough to clear the kiker in a gybe. definatly dont have it too high in a gybe . on the run on the feva if its realy light the board will come up a bit, but not much, and if its gets above 5 knots it stays down because you need the lateral resistance (?) in the water otherwise the kite wont fill, you just go sideways.

Re capsizing: much easier if the board is right down.
