Wing/fin tweaking when wetsuits become necessary

[Fatroll]

what adjustments to wing/fin do you guys make when a wetsuit becomes necessary? The question is based more on added weight versus water viscosity.

thanks

I add dust to my fin on the shelf when it becomes too cold to ski without a full wetsuit.

 

Sorry I couldn't resist...

I don't adjust my fin at all I just keep skiing.

cooler/colder water = less wing; warmer water = more wing

When the water gets cold we switch to skates

I never adjust it. Water temp doesn't change all at once, but gradually over weeks. I never notice that the ski "quits working" with changes in temperature.

@oldjeep my first hockey game is tonight, but we have around 3 months till pond hockey will be possible. Ohio has a very short ice season, if any.

Generally I add some tip for cold water, not based on wetsuit weight or Michelin Man feeling of the drysuit! I am always amazed at how much friction there is in a bag suit when doing tumbles barefooting, the damn thing gets pretty warm!

What is this cold water you speak of ??

Two cold days at Predator Bay and the water has dropped from 67 to 55 degrees. A drop like that makes a noticeable difference to the way the ski moves. So mine is moving to Florida with me on Saturday =)
