Administrators Horton Posted March 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2013 It seems like everyone is heading the the same direction with this ski but I thought I would share where I am at. I did try both deeper and farther back - I had issues with both. With the fin farther back and all other settings the same - the ski sticks at apex of off side turn. With the fin deeper I had just a tiny bit of tip rise and lost a lot of angle. With the below settings the ski is very balanced and freak'n great. I almost ran 38 today. That is crazy for March. 2.500 6.937 Tips .760 Flat/Head 8 degrees 29 7/8 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jdarwin Posted March 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2013 Crawford sent me similar numbers for the 68" - magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted March 24, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2013 @jdarwin, can you share? Binding position, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted March 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2013 @Horton, 6.937" on a 67"? Wat is your water temp (in C if possible...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 25, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 25, 2013 Water is high 60s f. I really don't believe in adjustment for water temperature. Maybe for huge swings but I do not believe must pro skiers do it.

Baller MattP Posted March 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2013 @Horton I usually don't change anything for temps, but I messed around with changing wing angle with water temp. Seemed to help. Warmer water = less angle. Wait you don't own a wing.. never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ral Posted March 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2013 8 degrees? Your killing me! Re adjustments x water temp, I had to adjust my past D3 fin lenght when going from less than 60f to more than 80f water temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jdarwin Posted March 25, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2013 @skibug - binding maybe 1/8" forward of stock (30.5")- it's very close to stock.. Fin: 6.935 tips / 2.505 / .760 flat / 8 deg wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller LeonL Posted March 30, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm considering a Quest and could just call D3, but with all the knowledge available here I'm likely to get better info from BOS. Question is, due to my advanced age I'm now skiing at 32 mph, what length Quest would best serve me? I'm about 160, ended last season (haven't skied yet this spring) skiing on a 66" RCX and able to run 35 off. I'm thinking going to a 67". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 30, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2013 @LeonL First of all D3 has a great return policy so if you get the wrong size you can send it back. Depending on where you are. .. there should be a local rep who will loan you a ski. my guess is the 67 is the right size and I would have a hard time believing you won't love it more than your old RCX Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jdarwin Posted March 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2013 I am now of the opinion that I need to go shorter. Ski is not moving out as well as I would like and a shorter fin should help. But, the turning characteristics are so good, I don't want to lose any of the benefits of the longer fin. It's going to be a balance in the end.

Baller MattP Posted March 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2013 @OB can you make a different paypal for Mapple and D3? Some people have told me they are holding back from reserving because they did not see any way to differentiate the two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted March 31, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 31, 2013 @OB yes yes we know. I think people want to make sure they have a spot for the day/days they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted April 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 4, 2013 Bump-any updates on direction you guys are heading with the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jdarwin Posted April 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 4, 2013 @skibug - we're still experimenting with the fin settings - one of the consistent settings has been bindings back 1/16" to 1/8". This seems to work well for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted April 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 4, 2013 @jdarwin, thanks for the update. Hopefully I will get to ride one tomorrow. Weather in Charleston, SC is not cooperating today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jdarwin Posted April 4, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 4, 2013 @skibug - I believe you will like it - Seth is a wizard at setting up those skis since he was part of the test team. I tend to follow his lead regarding fin numbers. It is truly one of the best turning skis I've ever ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
