I just moved from a sabfoil 899 to a 869 but even with the mast completely to the front and maximum shims on the 376 stab i cannot get enough front foot pressure. I tried it on both my inflateble boards from RRD (90L) and Gong Diamond (95L). I'm on a f700hs fuselage.

Any tips of what i could try next?

same stab? I founnd the 899 and 909 (edit) to have about the same FFP

On the WinDfoil, I use the 869 Medusa pro with the 370 stabiliser & 1.5 deg shim (903 fuselage). I have this set-up very dialled in and use it from 15 to 30knots. I don't notice any issues with lack of front foot pressure.

On the Wingfoil, I use the 869 Medusa pro usually with the 425 stabiliser & no shim (663 fuselage). Im a beginner / intermediate winger, so I found the bigger stabiliser helps get me up on foil. So one recommendation is to use a bigger stabiliser.

Also the 899 will definitely take-off earlier and easier than the 869. If you look on the Sabfoil website, 899 takeoff speed is 10-12knots, whereas the 869 is 13-15knts. So other option is more speed / power?

Nope for the 899 I use my old S483 stab that came with my w1100

Shim the new stab would be a good start i think, or move to a bigger stab
