X-15 Slalom 85w | Foilglide 6.0 | GTR+ 800/330

Lightwind session on the foil.  Changed the rake from 1.7 (no shims) to 2.7 with a 1 degree shim and found the board did feel like it sailed a bit higher out of the water when I was up and going, but with such light wind it was hard to know whether it's a better setting for me.  It seemed very hard to get going and when I'd glide into an area with no wind the foil tended to drop down quickly and stall rather than glide down as it normally would.  My first thoughts were that it didn't feel any better, but I'm keen to start experimenting a bit more with the rake and other foil settings.  Up until now it was just set it once 5 years ago and just get used to it, rather than tune.
