Stingray foil board has both deep tuttle and channel mounts, I have the Naish and I think it benefits from being set up more forward, so you might consider also switching to a channel plate instead of deep tuttle mount.

Agree with powersloshin, the foil likes to be mounted pretty far forward compared to most, I think you may struggle to find a deep tuttle board that will play nice with it. Try before you buy if you can.

Have you tried maxing out the stabiliser angle yet?

How do you change the stabiliser angle?

Sorry I thought you meant the Naish WS1. With the 1150, I think you'd have to make some shims and maybe some longer bolts, I don't think Naish supply any.

You can do this super ghetto wise by putting a thin piece of material under one bolt. In your case if you are too backfooted, you want more lift, so you want to lift up the back of your rear stabiliser. An old credit card with a holepunch hole would probably work good. Otherwise people have used washers etc. You probably only want about a 0.5mm shim to start with.

Example below is what the fanatic shims look like, it has a pretty similar rear stabiliser mounting system to Naish. Wouldn't be too hard for someone who is somewhat handy to DIY some.

I spent Saturday testing foil boards with the Naish foil and ended up buying a Starboard 111 foil board. Small, still slightly backfooted (but was using a very large sail) but reckon I can tweak this. However, the starboard was massively grin inducing. It seemed v easy to get up and once there felt like there was nothing under your feet, great fun! If i can get up on it with a 7.5m in marginal wind like I did on Saturday it should feel great with a 5.8m in moderate wind.
