Want to lossen up my backside turns. Do I lengthen the hard edge or shorten it?
Have you tied changing your fins - smaller or higher aspect fin on your heel side?
Just a thought with very little or no cost…
Or an asymetric board if you want to push the boat out…

The answer to your question is “shorten it.”
Yes, shorten it.
However,i f you have the option tighten your cluster of fins on your backside IF you have that option. FCS Fusion and some others offer adjustment for that. Or you can customize some fins to increase that if you are handy with basic tools. Also look at FCS “IFT” (Inside Foil Technology) for a looser side fin foil.
If the backside edge of your board has a resin bead ground in, try dulling the forward edge using a new single edge razor blade. It will loosen things up a smidge like fine tuning snow ski edges for different conditions.
