First, I'd do a bigger tail. Way more bigger friendly jibing with a 375 or 400 tail. The bigger tail adds a ton of stability "and" automatically helps keep you on foil, coming out of the jibe when you are learning to jibe. Leave the little 325 tail for when you become a hot shot. No shims.

You didn't say if you had original short fuse, advance short fuse or advance plus short fuse. Huge differences in placement in the tracks. Advanced plus, is likely a lot more forward than your Cabrinha.

It really is critical to get the kit balanced. Lift the entire kit, board, and foil, precisely from the chord line of the front wing and makes sure the board is hanging level upside down. It really does matter.

I tried the large. It has an unforgiving fit. Rock hard, no flex for odd shaped head. The sides that come down over the ears pinched my head like a vise. Too small for me, even at size L.

My wife wore one for a few months, but she gave up. Ear protection was poor for her.

We both moved onto a soft helmet that flexed to our head shapes. Plus not interfere with my prescription sunglasses. We eliminated loud wind noises from blasting past my ears. My ears ring from the howl of wind noises. This is the one that worked for us. www.mysticboarding.com/products/impact-cap-2024?variant=47948271714648 BTW, we tried the Mystic Legacy too. It creates wind noise from the vents in the top of the head, plus it is hard and doesn't feel near as comfy as the version without the hard shell.

It was released Jan 1st. I'm sure you had the production model.
