Windy conditions: Sitting/hiking from an aft position is good for keeping the skegs as deep as possible. Don't pinch!!
Light air: Don't sit any further forward than the shroud, both upwind and downwind.
These positions work for me!!

when racing a hobie wave upwind, will you go faster by sitting further forward on the hull? |

Depends on wind speed. In strong breeze sitting as far aft as possible and hiking hard seems to work well. In lighter winds moving a bit forward is good, but not well forward. You want to keep the rudders and keels deep in the water for best tracking. |
