Foil shim for Liquid Force Impluse Hydrofoil

thingiverse

I was learning to foil with a kiteboard hydrofoil setup behind the boat and kept cavitating. So I thought it would be helpful to have a shim to lessen the lift of the foil for learing purposes. The Liquid Force foils don't come with shims to adjust the lift so I designed my own. This is known to fit a 2019 Liquid Force Impulse foil, but probably fits 2018 and also the Cloud 9 versions from 2018/2019. I find the 1.5 degree shim helped me control the lift better while learning. Remember to keep most weight on front foot of course and watch videos on how to learn foiling for starting out. printed .12mm layer ht and 80% infill, rectilinear , both PLA and PET worked for me.
