The ARMSTRONG CF300 tail wing is the largest stabiliser and the best starting point for anyone new to foil sports. It’s forgiving in all aspects but still offers plenty of fun for experienced riders in waves and downwind. The stabiliser affects pitch, roll and yaw in flight. Larger stabilisers make learning easier, while smaller sizes offer experienced riders a faster and more reactive foiling experience.
Shims play an important role in stabiliser performance. Consider experimenting with how you shim your current setup before upgrading to another. By adding the 0.5 degree (blue) shim, it’s made slightly faster and more responsive. Progressing to the 1 degree (red) shim further increases speed and looseness. Note that you may need to move the mast forward or back 1-2cm to keep the front and back foot pressure relationship to your liking. After experimenting with these adjustments, it may be time to try a new stabiliser for a different feel.
