Hi guys, I have a Naish thrust surf foil and lost the rear stabiliser after a wipeout behind the boat. I've made a new one but can't find any information one the profile. Is it an assymetrical profile or a typical profile with a flat bottom ( like wing)
Any advice appreciated
Cheers.

It is important to understand that the rear stabiliser is upside down and providesnegative lift to help drive the front wing into a positive AoA.

Shape it approximately 60% the size of the front wing and use NACA 105 or Eppler 387 as a profile. Aspect ratio around 4 should be ok.
