Adjusting Toe-In and Toe-Out

Toe-In/Toe-Out refers to the direction the leading edge of the foil is facing relative to the centre stringer to the board.

The centre fin should always be exactly in line with the centre stringer, Both side fins should always be toe-ed in by the same number of degrees, unless the side fins are not positioned directly opposite each other.

Always adjust toe-in/out in millimeteres as small adjustments generally result in immediate noticeable differences

When to increase Toe-In:

Increasing the toe-in of the side fins (i.e.turning them in the direction of the stringer) will increase the boards responsiveness during turns. Remember that increasing toe-in, results in less water resistance during turns.

When to increase Toe-Out:

Increasing the toe-out of the side fins (i.e. turning them away from the centre stringer and towards the direction of the rails) will increase the boards speed particularly when driving down the line.
