Keith_Menard Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I am a set it and forget it kind of guy. I have everything set on my 2017 66" vapor pro to factory recommended except I have the bindings moved about an 1/8 forward. Now that the water is getting cold, should I tweak the fin?

Baller RazorRoss3 Posted October 5, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2018 No, cold weather/water just make sure to keep your body “athletic” on top of the ski. It’s realky easy to tense and tighten up and your skiing will suffer for that far more than from the actual temp change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller igkya Posted October 5, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2018 In years past, I would add ~0.01 of depth, thinking that colder water would make the ski ride higher in the water. This year, I'm not making any fin changes and focusing on form and flexibility... kinda what @RazorRoss3 said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregy Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have more problems when the water starts getting 95F plus. Once it gets cold its more for exercise than pbs for me anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted October 5, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 5, 2018 No unless you are hitting a bunch of tournaments in cold water. I always found it better to slow the speed a little and focus on technique vs buoy count. Enjoy the extra passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Just ski and have fun. Don’t worry about your fin. When it is cold work on technique on some easier passes. I don’t push the envelope when it is co,d somthe fin isn’t as important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboardingschool Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I watched Freddie run 41’ on a 2 year old Senate with a drop in fin this week, so I’m gonna vote no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted October 6, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 6, 2018 Yes, you should change it to a CG fin :) But as far as the actual question, no, I don't usually do changes for the cooling water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skihart Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 @theboardingschool hey Travis I saw that video. Crazy three ball! I think @FW has found his new stick. Was that at 34 or 36 ? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterSkier12 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I’m guessing Fred Winter was “in the right spot”! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Gile Posted October 6, 2018 Members Share Posted October 6, 2018 I agree with @scotchipman. This time of year it seems to be way more work to establish width. Leave the fin and decrease wing. I switched from 9.25 to 8 degrees about two weeks ago. Our water is about 60 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
