As a short term solution, or to experiment with different angles, you can use nylon washers to raise one side. On the pic, experimenting on the Zeeko Wakeskate. Before settling with two washers.butterfish wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:55 pmwould love to have such a "shim plate" for my foil (165x90mm). how to get a easy and good result? what materials to use and how to work with it? or does anybody know if there is an item like this anywhere available to buy?
What size Skate do you have?mikesids wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 9:10 amNot quite in the home-made vein , but I can say that in my opinion Michele at Groove has absolutely nailed it with the Skate - absolutely frickin LOVE mine, one of my favourite pieces of kiting gear. The substantial nose rocker is so forgiving in heavy chop , waves and when touching down at speed you can really survive potentially hairy touchdowns quite easily. And it feels like riding a little go cart. Also has long tracks on it so you can use with a variety of wings , from large surf wings to race wings. Cannot speak highly enough about it. Was inspired to get a board like this after talking to a mate at my local who has a Ketos with lots of nose rocker - looks like you were right Eric
