Any ideas... i will need a couple more KG in the sea and can't get more in the pockets... would the bottom camband crack it do you think?

It wouldn't harm....alternatively a weight single tank adaptor. What I would say is that trim is a combination of weight distribution and back strength. If you are very lucky then you can do it with weight distribution alone but most need to use back strength.

I don't know what your ambition is for trim but if it is table top flat trim then initially it will feel very much like you are rolling forward .... you then normally need to arch your back and tip your head back to stop the actual rolling movement you describe.

Much of this is best done face to face with someone who can feedback what they see you doing rather than how you think it feels.....that may sound a bit aloof ....but it is the reality in most cases A trusted buddy with a camera can also help.

I am sure you will enjoy your time with Mark and I am sure he'll help you out.
