Baller Fatroll Posted September 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Waternut Posted September 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 19, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted September 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 19, 2013 I don't adjust my fin at all I just keep skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skiron07 Posted September 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 19, 2013 cooler/colder water = less wing; warmer water = more wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted September 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 19, 2013 When the water gets cold we switch to skates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted September 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fatroll Posted September 20, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted September 20, 2013 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ DW Posted September 20, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted September 20, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted September 20, 2013 Baller_ Share Posted September 20, 2013 What is this cold water you speak of ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller SkiJay Posted September 20, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 20, 2013 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 =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
