I find that I want heel lift in my RS1's.......
For me to feel most natural, I think I need a 1/4" or so heel lift on my back foot. Having a slightly lifted heel keeps me from locking out my knees. I have a tendancy to do that sometimes which ends up causing me a bit of pain in my back knee as I hit the first wake. With the RS1's what would be the best way to accomplish this? Thanks.

You would need to build a wedge that fits inside of the shell and below the liner.

Re: I find that I want heel lift in my RS1's.......
Thanks, Chris. I found some foam heel wedges and tried two of them under the liner yesterday. Gave a total of about 3/8 lift. That might have been too much. I was conscious of the fact that my heel was lifted. So tomorrow I'll try just one. I may go back to two of them though, as it certainly seemed easier on my back knee that I injured at the gym and always seem to aggravate behind the boat.
Damnit, though......one of hte adjusters on my RS1s broke though!

one of the small lower cord locks. Not a big deal. I emailed Radar. Ryan said they had a new one that's stronger and he'd mail me a couple.
