I'm learning how to foil on a Neil Pryde/Cabrinha CR-X Hydrofoil. The board I use is a Double Agent.
The hydrofoil comes with different shims. (I'm not showing the ones that are already installed on the wings)
Someone said this helps first timers to increase the angle of attack providing more lift.

Not sure how this works. Could I please get some guidance as to what shims I should use on front and back wings? And when should I change them as I improve?
I'm at this stage: Yesterday I used the short mast and was able to float for over 30 seconds at a time. I will install a taller mast (60cm) because it's difficult with the short mast and the chop. I feel like the wings leave the water too easily or the chop hits the board. Little room for errors. The tallest mast is 90cm.
