  1. @chipkimball Great comments for @Bionaraq I'm so pleased you are on the Whisper Fin with the two wings! I started that thread after getting advice from the guru Jay @SkiJay
  2. Guys you might want to do a search for "Whisper Fin for Big Guys" on this forum...there is lots of good information in that thread including photos and instructions. @SkiJay definitely knows his stuff
  3. @Dacon62 good to know...thanks for clarifying that for me
  4. Ya @SkiJay definitely knows his stuff. It’s probably a little early to ask but has anyone tried the WF pro at 32 mph? I’m in the 32 mph club now.
  5. @jimbrake I totally get what you mean. The ROC 550's delaminated a lot. The ST 650 which was the slalom ski held together for some reason but the 550's were not durable. I used to race slalom on 207 ST 650's. I had 215 ROC 550's for GS. Real men skied on the 215's. Both were team skis with black bases not the blue bases of the rack skis. Those were the days. I'm an old guy. I'd like to race GS today on the 550's and compare my time to the Masters GS ski from Rossy to see the difference. I'm sure it would be huge. I think @SkiJay is helping the sport a lot. I like his innovation and out of the box thinking. I've met Jay, he is a humble, helpful man who knows his stuff. Jay has a huge following in Canada on his products so @Drago's comment surprised me.
  6. @Drago Why are you so negative on fin advancements?
  7. Congratulations @SkiJay. This new fin looks exciting. It’s hard to think about waterskiing when there is snow on the lake but I can’t wait to try this new version. I love engineering and how fit for purpose engineering design improves sport performances. Jay is guru and an amazing engineer for sure since he thinks outside of the box and designs things that just work better. Everyone: there is a very complete and comprehensive description of the Whisper Fin Pro on Jay’s website. Go have a look. https://finwhispering.com
  8. @chipkimball That is awesome to hear. I just got my Whisper Fin too. Did you have a look at the WhisperFin for Big Guys thread on BOS. @SkiJay was kind enough to help us big guys enjoy the sport even more by suggesting an amazing set up with two wings. You're a bit bigger than I am...actually not that much...and I love the two wing set up that @SkiJay suggested.
  9. @escmanaze reach out to @SkiJay on his website https://finwhispering.com/contact/ What I like about @SkiJay is he is an engineer like the two Adams at Denali. Jay literally wrote the book on fin tuning so he knows his stuff. I agree that it's a shame he's not on the site anymore as the active group here can learn things. You're never too old to learn....
  10. @C5Quest that's awesome, I know he has lots of customers so when he gets back to you he's working hard to keep up.
  11. @RGilmore thanks for the photo....it reminds me of the Hexcel snow skis I once had. Hexcel advertised their snow skis by bending them in a loop without breaking them. I skied on the 210 cm slalom snow skis for a couple of years and ended up breaking them when they fell off the car in the ski rack onto the road at 60 mph. Memo to self after that...check your friend's ski rack to make sure it's securely fastened!
  12. @C5Quest It's super easy to get a hold of @SkiJay on his website. https://finwhispering.com/contact/ He's got tons of knowledge as you know and he is very good at returning e-mails. I've learned a lot from him and it's well worth the effort to make contact with Jay.
  13. Update: a fully grown friend of mine has had some time on his 71 inch senate with the Whisper Fin. He maintains the ski turns faster. Hallelujah, this is exactly what we are looking for. Take a big ski that just by its size will not turn as fast as the same ski in a smaller size....enjoy the starting of the larger ski...keep the glide of the larger ski and put on a Whisper Fin so the ski turns much faster. We are no longer handicapped by the big ski. I know from my past owning 69 and 71 inch versions of the same ski that the 71 turned like a school bus compared to the 69. Thanks @SkiJay
  14. @Justin_C I haven't tried a WF yet, we haven't even started skiing yet as my ski and boat are in the USA and I am in Canada. I will tell you my son loves his WF and I know @SkiJay has a really strong following at Predator Bay where the serious skiers in the Calgary area all hang out. Predator Bay has hosted the World Championships and pro tours in the past so it's a very credible location.
