CG fin vs Whisperfin

[ballsohard]

I have a 66" 2018 Radar Vapor Pro Build with the standard fin.

 

Which aftermarket tuner fin should I go with? CG or Whisper?

 

@AdamCord @adamhcaldwell and @SkiJay are all allowed to chime in along with any of the ballers.

Whichever you try first, you may want to get your settings dialed in with the standard fin first as a reference. With the CG fin, that's a good place to start, if not a lil shorter and deeper.

I have CG fin on a 2019 Vapor Pro Build, and I like it.

@ballsohard I have a right foot forward CG Fin, with only a few sets on it, for sale.

[TFIN]

@ballsohard neither really. Keep in mind when establishing factory settings we obviously have access to all fin shapes including our own and aftermarket

[Than_Bogan]

Hm. @TFIN You appear to be implying that if the CG or Whisper felt good to the Radar design team that they would have released the ski with that fin on it. But both of those designs have pending patents, so that could only be done via an agreement with the makers.

 

If you believe that the stock fin is the best possible fin for the ski, then great! I have no basis from which to disagree with that. But the particular implication you've made seems incorrect to me.

OP what are you trying to accomplish in the first place? What do you think a new fin will do for you?

[Stefan]

@TFIN Quite a few elite skiers have been seen with aftermarket fins on their Radar skis? One example on the picture.

 

[TFIN]

Exactly. Part of our process is testing and assessing not only our own products, but everything available. Whitney even rode the fin seen above in a few tournaments, before returning to our fin shape in the end.

I have loved both the CG fin and the whisperfin on numerous skis.

But every time I’ve tried the stock fin back on all skis I’ve been on, the stock fin just feels better.

[C5Quest]

Haven’t tried the CG fin yet but the WF has been great on my 2020 Vapor Pro.

[BraceMaker]

The one that I really am curious about - the CG is asymmetric and I think that makes a ton of sense. With a sport that is RT/LT polarized I would think there is a real good reason to think that you would have a RFF and LFF configuration of the fin.

 

The WF is symmetrical. So my question would be if other companies have tried the CG classic fin if nothing else.

I had a CG fin earlier this season and went back to the stock fin. It just seam to work better for the ski.

Who wants to build a database for CG fin settings for all ski types?

[keithh2oskier]

@adamhcaldwell I think @Horton is into data analysis so I nominate him. Also good chance for him to teach Burford on the merits of excel.

[ozski]

CG fin on the KD is awesome, tried going back to stock fin just once and hated it.

[richfoster]

@ozski could you share your cg setting on the platinum?
