All you people that ride 633 and use hooks or straps - there's a lot of front foot pressure, even with mast all the way in back of track. There are SK shims to fix the problem, but I just heard the new 710 fuselage fixes it. Is that true?

Hey grigorib, when will the 743 be available as it’s not on the Moses Website yet ?
Hi pikovsg , you can either shimm the rear staibiser or the mast fuselage connection to reduce foot pressure.
I’ve tried both and prefer shimming the mast fuse connection as I had turbulence at speed when shimming the rear Stabiliser .

Does your board have a flat rocker at the mast base?
If so what thickness shimm did you add or any other suggestions?

Hi Wazza Kitefoil ,
You actually don’t shimm the mast / board connection but the fuselage/ mast connection.
Cut up an old credit card and put Three slivers of card at the rear of the mast and then bolt the fuselage on top .
It makes a BIG difference.

There Quite In every hydrofoil especially Moses foils post all speaking anout washers/shimms. I saw also pictures of few different shimms of1 , 3 degrees. Can someone do 3d print files for moses ondas of such washers ? I think even Moses itself must updoald such files for 3d printing officially. Can at least one kite company be like in real 21 century when people can print small parts from official 3d files privided by kite company. Of their planning to sell shimms for 10 euros

...
It won’t be available from Moses. It’s a custom CNC’d piece so you don’t need to move mast switching from 590 to 633.
Other purpose is to use it with boards which don’t have tracks so you don’t have so much front foot pressure.
$300 plus PayPal fees and shipping for 743
