Birds are flocking in WI. Sat through fog for over an hour on Wed morning. Air 49f water 78f Thur morning 6am air 50f water 78f. still good skiing.

10-4, boats were slowed down in the semis. Pulled the cameras. Became a FUN tourney at that point.

I for one do enjoy fin/wing adjustments. Its like figuring out a puzzle.......if I break at the waist at 1 ball. Use the Hammer. If I break at the waist at 2 ball add the chisel. No seriously, the fin is the keel and has a big impact on the skis ride/ attitude in the water. I have been finding that I can run much more aggressive settings then "factory" When adjusting depth, I have been going more shallow until the ski loosens up too much and then back off. DFT has had the worst response. Skiing smaller skis this seams for me to be the place where the ski no longer feels good under me. Probably because it is too short and has a tendancey to get behind me and not out front where it needs to be. Length has been fun to play with as for me it intoduces "bit". With less length in the fin the ski will really turn hard and bit at the ball. All of this means nothing to anyone else ......just ask my wife. So yes................tuning is Fun!Â

After witnessing the pros first hand at the Malibu Open in Milwaukee. The common thread is getting it done behind the boat. I watched as Regina got behind in her 38 pass in the finals and she just "worked" behind the boat after 3 ball like i have never seen. Ran the pass. My advise...........ski like a girl.

Have been skiing the "ladder" as my ski partners call it for a week now. HO Co-SL 67" w/ Franken Fogmans. This ski is legit. Ran my best set of the season this morning (.5 -38) Great turn shape, good speed and carries wide even if you make a mistake. We have then at 599.00 right now ready to ship (shamless plug, Thanks John!) Will@summersetmarine.com
