Whisper Fin Pro?

[Horton]

@Than_Bogan nobody has a fin contract. ski companies could care less what fin skiers use as long as they ski good. When I was making CarbonFins both D3 and HO were unofficially under the table sort of endorsing what I was doing.

[Drago]

Not sure why y'all are calling me out by name when others are similarly skeptical including @rico and @Horton .

I'll say this, I've been around. I used to hang out in schnitz's garage and I have a stack of fins still in my basement. $300 worth of help setting up a fin is absolutely worth it, so get-er done!

My snake oil post is a reaction of comparisons to whale fins and owl feathers. Cheetahs have spots and long hairs @ the tip of their ears, but they still can't cross a wake. Also, I'm 99.9999% sure D3 doesn't care what fin Nate uses. Additionally, " he can ski on a 2x4".

[skibrain]

That’s it. I’m replacing the fin on my ski with a slice of pizza. But don’t tell my sponsors.

[The_MS]

If it works, they all would use it.

Good for some, not good for others.

If it feels good, do it.

[UCFskier]

we turned the fin tip to tail on a team mates ski for a joke.... damn near set a PB... left it that way for 2 more sets till he realized it kind of sucked.

 

Im not saying go switch your fins but great skiers can ski on most anything

 

I was going to say something about coaching again but Im sure ya all are sick of me saying: coaching > equipment > sweet board shorts

[Sethro]

Honest question: Was that actually a shot at someone running 2.5@39 in a pro tournament because of some tip rise or is there an inside joke some of us are missing?

[The_MS]

It was a shot at the Instagram post bashing M4-5-6 guys on BOS

[richfoster]

@Horton “ unofficially,under the table,sort of”.... Straight from the redundancy department of redundance. I like it!

[ballsohard]

@richfoster @Horton or straight from the office of unspecified services.

[FunoRyota]

There is Japan flag version ??

[Stefan]

and a Swedish one

 

[Than_Bogan]

Ok THAT is awesome. Mostly the fact that a small business entrepreneur can produce cool customized finishes. There are some good things about this modern world!

[DW]

Where were the custom colored Coyote Bros. Carbon fins back in the day, LOL.

 

Very cool on the custom graphics.

[Zman]

Yup, it's wintertime again....

[Horton]

@dw in the words of Henry Ford "any color so long as it is black"

[KRoundy]

That’s cool. Where are people seeing these custom graphics (outside of BoS, of course)?

[KRoundy]

Ordered mine. Can’t wait to give it a go. The science makes sense, so why not try? A friend tried the previous version last year and he’s still skiing it.

 

Come on, spring....

[JAS]

@KRoundy where can I read about the science? I have had trouble finding any true science on the hydrodynamics of a fin. Thanks

[FunoRyota]

@JAS https://finwhispering.com/product/whisperfin-pro/

The details are here on this page

[ALPJr]

@FunoRyota that’s a good explanation of why and how the new shape works.

[KRoundy]

@FunoRyota That’s what I was thinking of. Thanks.

[Drago]

"The more it slides the more it grips"-- did I read that right?

[ozski]

The best fin ever.....again

[FunoRyota]

@ozski did you already test the pro one??

[Jody_Seal]

 

Looks like a part off my chainsaw..

 

[KRoundy]

I also like that Jay has stepped up to 7075 aluminum. That’s top-grade stuff.

[lpskier]

Other than in the store, I have never seen such a clean chainsaw. Maybe Stihl can do custom graphics on the bar.

 

I took two sets on the original WF with Jay there to set it up and tweak it after the first ride. I might have bought one and continued to test it at $100 but at $300 or whatever it was, I didn’t think it was worth the investment for me. That is, it worked fine but it didn’t blow me away. Or even get me excited.

 

I saw a bunch of them last year, but very few this year. All that said, Neilly Ross used one last year and I thought she had the best set up ski I ever saw. D3 Evo, Reflex front and a kicker.

[ozski]

@FunoRyota No mate and never will at that sex crime price point.

[Jody_Seal]

@lpskier

Its our mill saw. 660. They do make em bigger. 48" bar. I just got done doing a repair and tune up. Goes back into action this week milling a 32" wide white oak planks.
