Thanks for replies. My light wind wing board is a 7' x 65l litre Naish prone board about 4 years old matched with Code 850 front, 150 rear, 85 mast and long fuse. I appreciate your input on shimming but feel shimming these lower drag foils just kills the performance of a beautiful thing. This is why I thought balancing boards with weights might be a good thing to discuss.

Thanks Hilly. I'm surprised you didn't find the magic sweet spot after modifying foilbox. I do appreciate swing weight on longer boards is not ideal and they are not as easy to find the balance point either. I like your thinking Mark and will consider it. First I'll tape some weight to the tail to see if I can make setup more of a beautiful thing. Sometimes it is easier to just go out and buy the next best thing but I do fight this consumerism.

The nose of my 7' light wind wing board has a tendency to dive. It's an older board with modern foil and the tracks are too far back. I'm thinking of attaching some lead to the back to balance the board better. There would be a few people with this problem so I thought I'd put it out there. What do you recon? Why does nobody do this?
