Settings

[Razorskier1]

So suppose your settings were dialed last fall, but in becoming Achmed you finally lost that stubborn 10 lbs. do you change anything, or just start out the same?

Leave them the same until the water starts to warm up and you get your technique back where it belongs. Then maybe...

switch to a 65 inch ski

add a full inch of length

quarter inch more DFT

I recommend flipping the left wing backwards

and max out the depth

Are we talking fin settings or ZO? I assume fin.... Would agree with @thager wait for water to warm a little and then adjust. I believe in fin whispering he mentions that around 60 degrees is the best to adjust your ski. Your body isn't frigid or in a drusuit at that point.

I would just go ski and see how it feels. I know the impulse is strong to make changes when the water is frozen but if you were skiing well on the setup in the fall I would stick with it until you shake the rust off.

Not sure why you'd change anything unless you were right on the bubble for your ski size at your previous weight, and even then only after getting your ski form back.

I do not believe in messing with settings until it is warm and then.... don't tweak unless there is a problem.

[Razorskier1]

So step one, balance on a ski behind a moving boat, step two, get my groove back, step,three, adjust.

[Bruce_Butterfield]

Isn't step 1 wait for the ice to melt?

[RazorRoss3]

step four, rip 39.5

[Razorskier1]

Step four - I like step 4! Especially if I do it in a head-to-head against @skidawg! Somebody has to put some pressure on that guy!
