Good to hear all your experiences from shimming - As i would like to use my 999 for the lighter days with still having fun in jibes i will try to shim it for less lift with the hope to get rid of the tons of lift in harder turns. Maybe the short fuse helps with not getting it too pitchy. Maybe i will loose all the benefits of getting up in light conditions. However, i will try and report.
I also didn't expect any strange things when pushing (going up to 40km/h ) the 799, 899 or 999 through all kind of rough waters. Although i have experinced strange "stalls" even in flat water when trying to "speed" with the 890 (with 390 tail).

As i got good informations in this thread and the general Axis thread for my decision for what Axis gear to buy i will also throw my two cents in: I'm an 195 lbs (88 kg) intermediate wing riding mostly on lakes and occasionally open sea - unfortunatelly no acces to waves. Still i chose the ART 899 (with 82mast, short fuse, 375p) for strong wind. And for this it is amazing. But it turned out that it is now also my first choice for all conditions - as soon i have figured out in the lower wind range, that i have to be patiened enough to wait for the right board speed before pushing it gently up . I wouldn't had believed that a 850cm² will be my Standard Wing Foil considering my frame. I have also ridden the 999 in light wind and that brings me up with the slightest pressure in the wing and can also be pumped like an low aspect foil. But i like the 899 so much more for beeing even faster and for throwing fast, hard turning jibes and tacks as the 999 has to much lift for this IMO. In the tacks i have to take care to be fast enough but with the jibes i usually can't stall the 899 as you loose hardly any speed. In really powered conditions i tried the 799, which makes then jibes and turns even more fun - but this foil would be defenitely to small for me for lighter winds. Matt Nuzzo shimmed the tail (in the way to reduce lift (lifting the front edge of the stabilizer)) and reports to got it faster with even less drag - has anyone similar results with shimming or other tails?
