Designed for Sabfoil carbon baseplates, printed in a material that doesn't move in the sun.
Fitting a rake shim on a Sabfoil carbon gives you an extra degree of freedom without touching the geometry of the foil itself. Placed between the baseplate and the board's track box, it changes the angle of attack of the whole setup: the board's nose rises or drops depending on the chosen angle, and the behaviour on take-off and in flight changes immediately.
A technical part, not a throwaway accessory
On a carbon baseplate, the shim becomes the mechanical interface between two rigid parts. It had better hold. That's why we ruled out PLA, the standard in consumer 3D printing, which creeps in heat and breaks down with moisture.
Our choice: PETG, resistant to salt water and UV-stable, with a minimum thickness of 15 mm. The shim keeps its angle and flatness after dozens of sessions and summers on a car roof.

How to choose your angle
The safest approach is to start small and go up. 1.0° is often enough to cure a board that feels stuck to the water. 1.5° clearly transforms take-off on slightly heavy setups. 2.0° is for riders who already know why they need it, typically in racing or with a very high-lift wing. And if you're torn between two angles, take the smaller one: too strong a correction is felt immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need longer screws?
Yes. Add at least the 15 mm of the shim to the length of your current screws, and check the depth available in your track box.
Does PETG really resist salt water?
Yes. PETG does not absorb water and does not degrade in contact with salt, unlike PLA which becomes brittle.
Can I stack two shims?
It's not recommended: you multiply the interfaces and the lever arm on the screws. Choose the matching angle directly instead.
