Great stuff. The wind was really light this morning and you were all flying. That's impressive. Good times. Thanks DJ

Just a question to learn, not a critics. Does the Quatro board in the video might needs a shim, it does ride the nose a bit down? Thanks in advance.

I think you're right.. I've also noticed this and mentioned it to her but she is not using any shims.. yet.. I'm surprised that the Quatro board should even need a shim.. Are we talking about a shim on the base plate or rear stabilizer?

thanks for the answer David! I'm wondering the same, what the base plate vs the stab would do in this case.

I'm thinking adjusting the angle of the rear stabilizer will do little to adjust the nose up or nose down angle of the board.. I'm thinking she needs a slight wedge under the front of here mast base plate.

Stab angle adjusts foot pressure vs speed. Foil position adjusts overall foot pressure.
Shim adjusts board level while fly and ever so slightly changes foot pressure.

Thanks so much those who comment on the vid above. Greatly appreciate your close observation, deep knowledge and tech mind... which I don't have. Been using .75 shim with stab, increased to 1mm and tried 1mm, then increased to 2mm shim under the mast. Wow! Made a big difference! Heaps easier to balance now. Can't thank enough to you guys! THANK YOU! Love you!!
