Rake shim for V3 carbon mast to fine-tune your setup just the way you like it.

Presentation

This 3D-printed rake shim for the V3 carbon mast adjusts the board's trim while riding. It fits between your board and the foil plate to lower or raise the nose of the board depending on the mounting direction.

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.

Conversely, when mounted with the thick part at the back, it raises the rear of the board. This allows for greater rear leg range of motion, often useful in disciplines like dockstart or surf foil to pump with more amplitude.

The shim’s profile allows it to be mounted in both configurations while ensuring the best possible hydrodynamic performance.
