nbermudez1992 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 oh yeah! you are right with the HO fin. I didnt know about it. and its really cheap. makes you want to try it for the tiny price. https://www.hosports.com/product/waterski-accessories-asher-balance-fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dacon62 Posted November 10, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 10, 2021 The WF does change how your ski feels. It will carve a tighter arc. Will it get you more buoy's?? You decide. It is amazing how the WF is so much smaller than a traditional fin but the amount of change felt doesn't match the fin size difference. You would think it would feel radically different with all that fin area gone. Makes me wonder how much of difference a few thousands of inch fin adjustment really makes. Great price on the HO fin. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller KRoundy Posted November 12, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 12, 2021 I agree with @Dacon62 - the WF will change how your ski feels. I used the stock settings (set up with calipers) on my Senate Lithium and loved skiing it all year. The offside turns in particular are just money with the WF.

Baller ToddK Posted November 12, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 12, 2021 @KRoundy did you use the Senate settings from the WF site or Radar's stock Senate settings on depth and leading edge? What year is your Senate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller KRoundy Posted November 12, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 12, 2021 I used the fin settings from the WF site. 2020 Senate Lithium 69". For some context on my skiing abilities I'm still struggling my way into the course. Best full pass is at 15 off at 32 MPH. Best score is 4 @ 15 off at 34 MPH. Hope to start moving down the line in 2022 to celebrate my 55th birthday. I'm 6'1" and currently 230 lbs. Working to be at 220 or lower at the beginning of the next ski season. It's not hard to notice that as the pounds drop my skiing improves. But, I did make some progress last year after installing the WF and have never looked back.

Baller gavski Posted November 12, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 12, 2021 Re: Asher fin…I don’t understand this bit from the the blurb…” Leave the calipers at home. Take out the guesswork and never lose your fin settings! Just swap in a new blade shape and you’re ready to experience new performance characteristics from your ski. The new settings are built into the blade” Is this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gavski Posted November 12, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 12, 2021 Unless it is a ‘drop though’ fin and not an adjustable…would explain the price… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbermudez1992 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I just bought the WF pro. im impulsive that way. I run 32off more or less consistently, run 35off (34 and 36MPH) every now and then. started trying 38off not too long ago. I will let you guys know my experience with it!

Baller_ The_MS Posted November 19, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted November 19, 2021 That explains the tip always being up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 19, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted November 19, 2021 @The_MS i think the opposite is true. Early on in her skiing the tip went way up out of every ball. I believe since the WF, that has calmed down dramatically. Maybe not perfect but not what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted November 19, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2021 @Wish that fin is what Chet Raley is making... not a WF, I’ve checked it in another picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted November 19, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted November 19, 2021 That may be so. But Jay (WF developer) congratulated her on her victory using the WF on social media. No push back by anyone. Does Chet’s fin see DFT close to 2”? U should post a pic of Chet’s. Would be an interesting comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted November 19, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2021 This is no WF... couldn’t find a better image... but I have seen similar fins in person, so I can ask my friend to send me a picture of the one he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbermudez1992 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I've had the WF for some sets now, first impressions are very good, feel more supported in overextended turns. Do have to say the manual is overly complicated for simple concepts. Ill keep you guys posted, but so far i feel it was a good investment before buying a new ski. I have about 10 people with different proficiency levels in my site wanting to try it. I will do my best to do some riguroud testing with everyone and let you guys know what i find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
