KPARTS is a brand of AP 3D Custom. The products made using 3D printing are 100% manufactured in our workshop in BREST. The G10 stabilizers are made on a CNC milling machine in the same workshop, in Brest. What is the rake setting in WINGFOIL? The rake is an essential parameter in the practice of wingfoil and surf foil. Its adjustment is important and depends on both the foil used and the board used. Indeed, each board shape is different, and foils are not set up the same way from one brand to another. Each brand develops its foils specifically for its boards: this can lead to incompatibilities when mixing a foil from one brand with a board from another. We can find ourselves either: &#8211; Nose down (more common): When riding, the nose of the board dips downwards as you accelerate. Your front leg is more extended than your back leg, and you feel like you have to put pressure on the back leg to maintain some semblance of balance. &#8211; Nose up (less common): a difficult takeoff; while sailing, the nose of your board is too high. Your front leg is too bent, giving the sensation of having a very (too) twitchy foil.
