Baller Stevie Boy Posted September 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2013 Mapple 6.0 Fin Settings Now, Length 6.830, Depth 2.502 , DFT .770 before the length was 6.840, Scenario: I have never felt the sweet spot on my offside turn since I got the ski back to the UK, I recently changed the length to 6.830 POW! now have a sweet spot on my offside, and the ski turns hard and fast, the problem I have is, if I am running narrow and have to come "up/forward" for the bouy the ski turns so hard it stops, I would also like to just calm the turn a bit even when I manage to stay back on the ski. Question 1 = do I calm it down by giving it more tip or do I continue to take tip out ? Question 2 = If I have taken tip out do I need to add depth ? Question 3 = The onside turn feels akward, the ski does not seem to come out in front, any suggestions ? I have tried my own methods and understandings, I wanted to know any other thoughts.

Baller Waternut Posted September 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2013 Debate-ably the best person in skiing history to be able to answer your question just so happens to have made your ski. If you ask Andy, I think it will be a lot better than any of us can recommend. Others have said that he responds pretty quickly. I would be curious to hear what he recommends though.

Baller gregy Posted September 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm running mine at factory setting including binding and it seems to be working, never ridden it in cold water though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller addkerr Posted September 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2013 Less DFT would calm the ski down on the turn and should help with width. Personally I havent changed my fin on the 6.0 with Florida to UK water. Just focused more on technique. I find the ski sensitive to binding placement . Rule of thumb, make sure you have your binding placement right before fin adjustment Agree with @waternut Andy is your man. Lucky for me only couple more weeks until im there again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller DanE Posted September 28, 2013 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2013 I do not find this ski sensitive at all to any particular settIng. For me the most important thing was to find a Good combo between length and depth. From factory setting I moved to 2.510 and 6.820-6.825. Got better turns at both sides, especially offside. In Florida Waters- any settings seem to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
