I run zero tail shim and use a 0.5 mast shim (thickness at front) to give my board more front foot feels. Works perfectly.

Hi Andy, following up whether you still think you could have a 155 and 115 combo and skip the 135 totally. I am similar set up (slightly lighter @82kg) and have wanting to go smaller than my current 155 (also on FD, progression mast, 15.5 AB, short fuse) - was thinking of going for the 135 but if too close would consider straight to 115
The Evoās have have more glide, role better and top end than the Progressionās in my opinion.
I used to ride the Progression with a medium fuse. I was told to ride the Evolutionās with a short fuse. They were right. The medium fuse feels to slow and draggy and the roll has a delay. I havenāt tried the extra short fuse yet.
I havenāt tried the 135 but have the 115 and 155 combo. Iām 72kg. I was surprised how small of a wave is needed to use the 115. Once you get it high on the mast it just accelerates and the glide is very impressive. I certainly canāt see why Iād need the 135 as well.
