Administrators Horton Posted June 4, 2014 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have no idea what the review will say about this ski. I can not figure out what is special about this ski but I am easily running a lot of balls on it. I have not tried a lot of 38s yet but for the last 5 sets I have been skiing mostly on a 36 1/2 off loop. I do not think I have missed a 36.5 yet. One thing I know for sure is that the ski works best when I ski easier. The more I back off and let the ski do its thing the better I do. If I try to crush the finish of off side it takes too much angle. The other thing is that the Warp is not a lot of work. I can run a lot of passes with without a lot of strength or a sore back. I am not sure the ski fits my standard definition of a super fast ski but maybe my definition needs to change. The Warp is for sure one of the 2 or 3 best skis I have ever ridden. (do not ask for my list of best skis- as always I do not compare skis or talk about other ski in reviews) Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted June 4, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 4, 2014 @Horton it obviously suits your style. I'm not convinced that I had the setup right on mine, one thing I do recall is that it felt very very planted or predictable in the turns. Not overly fast but fast enough. I recall running a strong tail wind -32 that I would never have run on any other ski, its fantastic that your having a good time with it. Matt from Warp is a fantastic guy who loves the sport, more power to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstateskier Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Can you tell us a bit more history on the Warp? Who makes it? What is their philosophy on building skis? Obviously this is the most expensive ski on the market. What makes it the most expensive? Sorry I just don't know much about the Warp other than remembering it being hollow with no core, and their awesome bikini clad marketing campaign at Nationals in Okeheelee a few years back (until they were asked to "um leave").

Baller liquid d Posted June 6, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think I'd like to try one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted June 6, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted June 6, 2014 Those might cost more than the ski.

Administrators Horton Posted June 7, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2014 I have been crazy impressed with the Warp to date but until today I had not equaled my legit - ZO - good boat path PB. I hate to admit that @ripa38 gave me a good tip last night but that might have been a factor.

Administrators Horton Posted June 7, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ooooo I should also give some credit for fin settings to a man I refer to as Yoda.

KM Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 @Horton. What fin settings are you using? I may try mine again since I have no one interested in buying it. I found it very difficult to get an accurate DFT on this ski. I was using an aluminum HO fin. The carbon fin was too flexible. I have not tried mine in about 4 years.

Administrators Horton Posted June 9, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted June 9, 2014 @KM Yes the DFT is wacky. 6.821 .832 slot w/ thumb pressure .986 Ez Fin tool 2.500 28.5 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rok Posted June 11, 2014 Baller Share Posted June 11, 2014 @KM - do you still want to sell your ski? What year is it? Agreed, carbon fin too soft - ski turned too much no matter what settings. Got mine smoothed out with an HO aluminum fin. I've never skied on anything that felt as good as a Warp, although hard to point out one single superlative factor. To use recent ad copy it's got "power (speed) under control"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
