my foil has too much lift. i'm out on the nose of the board.
do i slide the foil assembly back on the board to reduce? I am trying to work it out before i go out again. thanks!

Yep, move it back. Start with 1” back.

Which foil and stab? A lot of people are having to shim the Moses 450 stab as it's way too much lift in the stock setting. I have mine shimmed to -2 degrees. You can try that with most stabs. Jim Stringfellow and Sailworks sell stab shims. I also have my mast as far back as it will go along with a Stringfellow fuse that moves everything even further back. I like my rear foot right against the kick tail on my 100 cm Dwarfcraft.

thanks both!
yes, i prefer my back foot to be all the way back to the kicktail on the board.
this is a slingshot setup, but on a gong board. i started with it in the middle. i'm going to go all the way back and inch forward i think.
