Awake Vinga Shims

What are shims & why do I use them?

A shim is a plate you install between the wings and the fuselage when screwing your wing on your eFoil. 

The shims allow wing angle tuning to optimize the boards behavior depending on the rider’s skills and abilities while foiling.

Which setting should I choose?

Our dedicated engineers and riders have tested numerous configurations in order to suggest the optimal setup for your VINGA efoil:

1. Awake POWDER wings 1800 and 1400

• Front wing shim: [+1]
• Rear wing shim: [+2]

2. Awake FLUID wings 1300 and 1000

• Front wing shim: [+1]
• Rear wing shim: [0]

Can I tune my efoil?

Advanced riders willing to ride at high speeds or go down waves could decrease their rear wing shims by [-1] or [-2] to gain control and stability. However, the settings of an efoil are precise and sensitive, be aware that radical changes could cause the efoil to misbehave and increase the overall battery consumption.
