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?
The owner of the shop where I bought my Blaz Pro wings gave me a 376 stabilizer.
It was terrible when I tried it. I couldn't get it to work at all. I've also let a few colleagues try it, and they all had the same result.

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?
thanks I'll try to find another stab to test if that changes the pitch issue. I assumed it was because of the position of the front-wing being too much to the back (it starts about 2cm more to the back), or the f700hs fuselage not being compatible with the smaller front-wing, but let's see if this works.

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
