Mostly you need to decide what type of riding you want to do and then get a light wind set up to do that. could be freeride or freerace.

Thats the 1st question which needs answering.
Balz Muller is amazing in light winds, so are the IQFoil racers. A very different approach to sailing, so the kit is very different.

More freerace orientated. I'm getting convinced that my lightwind option should be a larger wing on a new freerace type foil, rather than stick with the 790.

I played around with shims again today. 2 degree shim did take the load off the back foot quite a bit compared to the 1 degree shim, I hadn't noticed that before (I've only used the 2 degree shim a couple of times). I feel like it's a bit harder to fly in light wind though, I think it has significantly more drag and is harder to get the board speed up. Anyways, it's ok. The main point of my original question was about whether to go with a wing like the 790, or a HA 1000cm ish wing when I get a new board. Maybe I can sell my Moses Vento 790 and get a 1000cm wing. Or I can just keep the 790. I think all the main points have been made, thanks everyone, and it comes down to what kind of foiling I want to do in lightwind. I think this leans towards a high aspect wing.

I was a little anxious making the first jigsaw cut into the PTM 926 but with Covid supply delays I figured that it could be awhile before I could get a more suitable size.

I suspect cutting was the easy part, joining it all back together must have been interesting
