Hi, I recently received my AEON foil. I am having trouble mounting it to my board because the mounting screws are set in an angled position with no adjustment possibility. My boards are Severne Hydro/Starboard X-15 with flat head deep tuttle foil box. My previous Starboard Race Foil mounts with the screws 90 degrees up from the tuttle head. It also has some wiggle room for adapting to shim adjustment of the rake. The AEON foil doesn't have this possibility. Patrik is not responding to my request for help. Is there anyone here who have experienced the same problem and maybe have a solution?

I am having the same problem. I have a starboard freeride 144 board. When I set the foil without shims, I have 5 degrees of rake. When I set the mast rake at 2-3 degrees so when I put the shim (thickest part in the back), the bolt head is sitting at an angle in relationship to the roof of the box and ends up bending. I will create shims for the top washer so the bolt head sits flat. If that doesn’t help, I will make a slot in the mast so I can angle the bolt (more upright). That is how the IQfoil mast works.


I also have the same issue with Patrik: they don’t respond to messages or they forward it to a shop. Their foils are good but their customer service, in my experience, is bad.
