Baller Garn Posted November 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2011 If I was looking at an HO S2, and I weigh 190, ski at 34 mph, and my personal best is 3 @ 32 off, what would be better? A 66.5 or 67.5 inch ski? Thanks, Garn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted November 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2011 66.5 - It is a wider than normal ski with very little taper. I am 6'4" @ 225 on a 67.5 and it feels like a normal 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 2, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted November 2, 2011 5'10" 180 and rode a 66.5 this past weekend in rediculois head/tail wind along with not so great fin settings. Ski did not feel to small at all. Ran multiple 28s and a few 32s. Ski partner waighs the same few inches taller. Same results. Did not shorten line do to wind. Wind sucks. I posed the same question a few weeks back but can't find posting on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller teammalibu Posted November 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted November 2, 2011 Got an S2 plan to ride it Friday. Could use some help with tried and tested fin and binding numbers. Nothing listed on the HO site. The ski is a 66.5 and my weight is 188 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 2, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted November 2, 2011 This was a bunch of numbers from all the threads related to this ski as well as the comments if there were any. I did not get to try any of them do to wind. :-( I'd say the shorter DFT seems to be the key to stop the ski from over turning. Past that.... its a crap shoot. the ski is just to new. 6.890 tips 2.490 .740 Flat 9 degrees HO numbers 6.750 Jaws 2.50 .730 6.845 Length (Tips) 2.50 Dpth .78 Dft (that’s sooo long, overturn possible) 9 degrees 6.750 jaws 2.50 .730 DFT and 7 degrees faster turn rate try DFT of .740, with .750 max. 8 & 9 degrees 6.84 tips 2.50 .74 flat 7 wing Close to HO numbers 6.890" Tips, 2.490" Depth 0.725 DFT 29.5" 29.75" and the speed was greatly increased and improved the off side turn immensely.

Baller Garn Posted November 4, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted November 4, 2011 Teammalibu, Did you try the 66.5 S2? I would really like to hear what you thought since you sound really close to my size. Garn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
