@ballsohard , pro if your that , alpha if your at the beginning of life , omega if your twilight.....

I'm on the alpha and lovin it and midlife , so take my advise as completly useless

[savaiusini]

Three skis with very different ride types. Pro is the ski to choose if you’re a scrappy skier who needs a ski to shut down speed quickly at the buoy and to have the most grip possible when snapping off quick turns. It has the deepest concave volume of the three.

 

Alpha shares the same width profile as Pro but has slightly shallower concave and a lower rocker profile. This makes the Alpha ride just a bit higher in the water and carry more speed. Alpha has been a “go-to” with our lady athletes as it lends itself to more of a finesse skier type.

 

Omega is a completely new shape. Of the three, it has the lowest volume concave and has less taper in the tail. It also has a 4-stage rocker profile and a large flat spot under the front foot. The result is a ski that carries a ton of outbound speed and direction with the least amount of effort. More complete info can be found below.

@savaiusini Searching for boot, fin, wing settings for 67" Omega. 55K skier. 165-170 lbs. Tournament PB 2@10.75. No factory recommendations have been published. I feel like I'm all dress up with no place to go.

Here are the settings for 66 and 67 Omega:

 

66"

29.5”

6.840”

2.500"

0.775"

67”

30”

@savaiusini Which ski is Will Asher, @CParrish43, and Jonathan Travers on?

[vtmecheng]

For what it's worth, I saw that Travers just won the 2019 America's Cup Invitational on an Omega

[savaiusini]

@JaredSmith all three are on Omega. B)

Spoke with Parrish he was on a 67" Omega and really liked it, but was exited to try the 68" when it was released

[Horton]

Parrish looked amazing at us Nationals this year

@HSL I also like this for 67" Omega:

 

29.75

6.945

2.467

.755

9°

 

Something to consider if you are more of the long-shallow kind of skier.

Thanks @savaiusini and @Luzz.

Still dialing in the fin -- but think I've got FB position set. Up the line through 12m first set on the ski. I've tried 2019 Goode, 2019 Vapor and 2020 D3 Evo-S recently (all pretty darn good), but I'm off to a more comfortable/familiar start on the Omega. Good to know that Asher, Travers, Adams and Parrish are all kicking butt on this ski. But more interested in hearing from BOS colleagues who, like me, possess none of their superhuman talents. Thanks again.
