The essential object to optimize your foil:

- Readjust the longitudinal trim of your board for those who have a foil of a different brand to their board.
- Add "front foot" for foils that lack pop. (Freestyle)
- Avoid the nose down effect at high speed. (Race)

For M6 and M8 screws.
4 different thicknesses.

Description:

In which direction should I place my shim?

If you feel that your board is nosediving even when advancing the mast to its maximum within your housing, then correct this "nose down" effect by placing the thicker side of the rake towards the front of your board.

Conversely, if you sense significant pressure from the foil on your front leg, place the thicker side of the shim towards the back of the board.

Can my foil be adapted to the A3D rake shim?

The shim has been tested on around ten of the most popular foil brands (F-one, Takuma, Fanatic, Axis, AFS, Cloud IX, Sab Foil, Alpine...).

If you're uncertain about compatibility, here are some measurements of the shim that might assist you.
