Buxrus Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I heard and or read that if you’re running your opening passes easy and smooth, this set up on your ski will not work for 38 and shorter. I open at 28. Right up to 32, then run 2 35’s. I can’t miss. Virtually automatic. Then purple shows up. Typical is 2-3 at 38. Several times in a week I may get around 4 and get over to 5. My frustration is why can I crush 35 then it all goes away at 38 ?? So if a change in set up is necessary, what to do? More DFT? Less depth? Wing angle? I’m 58. LLF. 2019 radar pro build. Regular fin and wing. Reflex front. Kicker in rear. Have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rockdog Posted June 12, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2020 That's more than just ski set up @Buxrus. Hitting the coaching circuit will be a massive help for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brettmainer Posted June 12, 2020 Members Share Posted June 12, 2020 Agree that fin set up is not likely the problem. Coaching to identify and correct your limiting technique flaw and slowing the boat down 0.5mph to learn the rhythm of 38 are likely your best solutions. If you have a fin set up you crush 35 every time on, I wouldn’t start changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted June 13, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2020 I like to go back to 35 after a couple tries at 38. The same problems that crop up at 38 can appear at 35 but you can survive them and learn how to fix them. Some quality coaching is the best idea though.

Baller AdamCord Posted June 14, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 14, 2020 @Buxrus a setup that works for shortline will feel a bit draggy and slow to turn on your earlier passes. If your setup feels free and light with very quick turns at the longer lines, you’ll struggle with keeping the line tight and over turning as the rope gets shorter. You have to keep in mind that you will be moving faster into the buoys at 38 than 35. So typical adjustments you can make to get your ski working better for shortline include: Fin back Fin deeper Fin shorter More wing The fin is adjustable for a reason, use it B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxrus Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thanks to all who responded. A few asked for video. I’m not big on video. Since I’m my own worst critic it usually becomes a negative reinforcement time. Sequence will be 32, 35 and two 38’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chris Rossi Posted June 23, 2020 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2020 @Buxrus Check out the Givego app. You can choose to put your video up for grabs or choose a specific radar skier to review. I’d suggest submitting a full 35 pass. I’m sure we will get you dialed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
