Foil Rake 1.5° Riser Shim V3
Program
The rake shim for race and freestyle specialists.
Presentation
This V3 carbon mast rake shim, in molded plastic reinforced with glass fiber, is installed between your board and your foil plate to lift the nose of the board. Manufactured using reinforced injection-molded plastic in a metal mold, this technology ensures exceptional strength and optimal precision.
Whether for comfort or performance tuning, this shim with a 1.5° tilt is a simple and cost-effective solution to enhance your board’s feel depending on the foil you have underfoot.
To visualize the effect of this shim, when mounted on an 85 cm mast, it raises the nose of the board as if you had a 92 cm mast. This provides more clearance before touching the water, and a more forward-flexed stance balance.
This shim is particularly appreciated on fast runs, as it raises the rider's front foot for maximum control. The raised nose also allows for softer touchdowns at high speeds, with a ricochet effect of the board on the water.
In freestyle, the raised nose offers better pop and re-pop during jumps, thanks to the increased distance between the nose and the water’s surface.
In surfing, some love this increased nose clearance from the water. The rail touches less in very tight turns, providing a good feel, especially in small, choppy waves.
The chamfers on the shim perfectly extend the chamfers of the V3 carbon mast plate, maintaining high hydrodynamic performance, especially before takeoff, during touchdowns, and re-pops.
They are compatible with our SCS quick-mount system, so you can leave it mounted on the mast without worrying about it!

Warning
The practice of the Foil carries risks of major accidents. A bad mastery of the Foil can cause cuts, serious wounds, even death, for you and/or others.
The Foil must be practiced taking all the precautions when used in Kite because they are increased in comparison to those related to the Foilsurf. Remember that the Foil is long, sharp, and can reach high speeds. To be hit by a Foil, or to strike a third party can have dramatic consequences.
Foil always far from others, in safe and unobstructed water.
The Foil is mainly used in the light wind. This one can fall and force you to go swimming. Therefore, do not overestimate your strengths: never go further than what you can swim under present and announced conditions.
Wear a helmet and protective jacket to ensure your buoyancy. Always wear a full neoprene wetsuit.
When handling the foil, be careful not to cut yourself on the trailing edges.
GONG declines all responsibility in the event of an accident involving a GONG Foil. The Foil practice and its benefits/consequences is under the sole responsibility of the Foil user.
