Anyone using an S wing at 34mph?

Curious if anyone is using one and would like to hear feedback.

Yes, I set up my C75 with a flat wing last season and just to experiment put the S wing on the ski in the middle of this season. The ski still glides and turns well, but my elbows stopped hurting, so I left it on the ski. Would another degree have done the same thing? Maybe, but I love how the ski is running now.

I've been using it since it was invented. But I haven't been able to ski this year, and meanwhile it seems that the favorite Denali setups for many have been with a flat wing. The S-wing addressed a specific issue, but perhaps a better way has been found in a different setting range?

I found that the S-Wing added Drag. It worked OK at 5 degrees, but a Small Flat wing gave the same performance results without the added Drag.

I like it on last year's model which is the standard flex c-75. I now have a c-75 record and I like the flat wing on it better. Also running the fin way further back on record than the other one.

[jayski]

yes and 8 or 7 deg usually

I really like it in colder water, say 80 and below. Above 80 a flat wing seems better for me.

This thread spurred me to put the flat wing back on but with an extra degree of angle. I maintained better speed through the turns, so I will stick with flat.

Yes @34. I ski on three bodies of water on any given week. This last week with temp variations from 55 ish to 82 ish, I found the s wing is more sensitive to the different temps than a flat wing.

If I was younger no problem, but at 70 it was way to much load on this old body.
