Sonar Stabilizer Shim Kit 2022
The rear Stabilizer’s main role is to maintain a level and stable flight path. But conditions and user preference may change what stabilizer angle feels the best (aka the sweet spot). Shimming changes the angle of attack (AOA) and controls the amount of downforce the stabilizer creates on the overall foil system - to increase the stabilizer AOA and front foot pressure, add positive shim. The smallest tweak in the AOA can improve comfort, reduce fatigue, change the cadence of your pump or the turning radius of your carve and increase/decrease your front and rear foot pressure without changing your foot position. With the Sonar Shim Kit you can stack multiple shims, from our base setting it covers from -0.5 to +2.5 degrees. Finetune the way your foil system performs and change the way you ride. You’re in control.
Includes: 1x -0.5 Deg Shim, 1x 0.5 Deg Shim, 2x 1 Deg Shim
- Stackable to cover -0.5deg to +2.5deg of tuning

What makes it work.
Stackable to cover -0.5deg to +2.5deg of tuning
The Shim Kit contains four individual, stackable shims, enabling multiple combinations.
Instant customisation without removing the Stabilizer
We’ve designed the shims to slot into place using a single screw insert, so you can adjust your foil easily without fully removing the Stabilizer. Simply undo one screw, loosen the other screw and slide one or more shims into place.
Tune for different disciplines and front wings
Unlike prone foiling, with wing and kite foiling there is side loading on the foil system due to the pull from the wing or kite.
Cost-efficient foil system adjustment
Durable and inexpensive, shimming is a cost-efficient solution to optimize your foil system.
