WHAT ARE THE SHIMS?
Shims are small inserts used to adjust the angle of the rear wing, fine-tuning the foil’s lift and stability. The RRD Universal fuselage allows the installation of plastic shims to customize performance. Three options are available: Black (0°), Orange (0.75°), and White (1.5°), giving riders the flexibility to modify their setup for different riding styles and conditions.
WARNING: The sets that use the Universal Plus fuselage, such as the Blaze LTD, Thunder, Mantaray, and Flying Fish, must always be used with a shim included in the RRD set. They cannot be used without one. The Universal Plus Alu Fuselage can only be used with adjustable rear wings.
The Black shim (0°) is in a neutral position, providing balanced pressure on the rider and even weight distribution on the front foot. It ensures a stable and well-balanced board, making it ideal for riders who want to learn and gain maximum confidence with their foil.
The Orange shim (0.75°) creates slightly more pressure under the front foot, offering a good lift during take-off and improved control while riding. It also provides some pop for jumps and aerial maneuvers, making it a great choice for riders looking to progress and perform more dynamic tricks.
