has anyone figured a wing setup that makes foiling feel more backfooted like surfing?
I started down the canard wing rabbit hole, but didn't have the time to figure it out.
BackfootedWhat do you want it to feel like?
This is the main issue, but also while cruising, more backfooted.It's still a foil that needs to be held down with your front foot on a drop though.
What difference does the size of the rear wing make?
Mine is a 425.
If you want more back foot pressure while cruising down the line, then adjust the tail wing angle for less negative angle (positive shim).Backfooted
This is the main issue, but also while cruising, more backfooted.
Hey Gshaper, long time no talk. I switched to Lift last fall and it definitely is less front foot and more evenly balanced. Playing with the tails definitely shifts it around. Let me know if you want to try it. We can get Grendel out there too, he has a Lift setup (along with several others) too.has anyone figured a wing setup that makes foiling feel more backfooted like surfing?

I think I'm going to jump on the Lift bandwagon soon.Hey Gshaper, long time no talk. I switched to Lift last fall and it definitely is less front foot and more evenly balanced.

old AxisWhat brand are you on now? Lift all break, so buy new and they have a great warranty and will just send you out a new wing, you send the old one back (pro tip, keep the wing cover they don't need that back)
So lift tails are all setup with no shim essentially. That's why they're back footed and need to run at the front of the boxes. The new 26 tail has a built in shim and the foils need to be setup a bit back in the box from where the 25 or 34 tails had them.
Thanks.How big is your wing board? I would just try to use the board and foil you have.
The S24 is a 1st generation foil. Very heavy. Massive lift paddling into the wave which will buck you off. It works, but I wouldn't use it. If pumping and connecting multiple waves is your goal that foil will not do that without A LOT of effort.
That price with the board included is fair. But you would be better served buying a $700 prone foil board and using your fone's which you are familiar with already. Never ridden F-one foils, but I would put money on them being better than a s24.
If you message Josh at https://www.instagram.com/thefoilshop/ he often has used boards for sale.
Oh hahaha you're right. I'm thinking of Sh3. Sorry about that. Old username I'm familiar with seeing and I got confused.Thanks.
So, I think you have my confused with somone. I have no wing, no F-one and no nothing foil related.
Does it matter that I'm 200 lbs?No foiling experience, don't get that s24.
Yes, it's another reason not to get that foil. It'll be to small for you.Does it matter that I'm 200 lbs?
