Tail Angle
A brief overview
Contrary to what many believe, tail angle is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Tail angle should be adjusted to accommodate various factors, including rider weight, riding style, skill level, your specific discipline, and many other variables. We have provided the image to the left, which illustrates the role that tail angle plays. Heavier riders may find it beneficial to set their tail for "more carve", whereas lighter riders might lean towards "less carve." If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Baseplate Shims
Highly regarded by many advanced foilers, these shims allow the user to adjust the board angle to improve takeoffs, pumping, and overall performance.
Not all boards have the same rocker, which may be ok when paired with some foils, but not for others.
Similarly, certain foils feature varying wing angles, which can also throw off the board angle with respect to the water. This can also be fixed using these shims.
Our Baseplate shims allow for board to foil angle adjustment, which for some can be the difference between a highly functional setup and one that feels slightly off. Some riders say "I just don't know what it is, but it doesn't feel right". Well this may be your problem.
Symptoms: The board likes to dive on takeoffs. The board may feel nose high or nose down while pumping.
Most advanced foilers who own multiple setups have a set of these laying around.
