  1. I’ve been using the older Radar interchangeable bar handle for several years. They’ve got to the point where I think they need to be replaced. I’ve tried Masterline products but am struggling to get used to them. Has anyone tried the VAPOR CUSTOM BARLOCK HANDLE? I’d be interested to hear how that compares to current Masterline products. I’m not interested in the Ergo as the ends are too big. I’d appreciate any insights.
  2. @bishop8950 - thanks for the info. I was running the bindings at 29 1/16 and moved them forward to 29 3/16. Didn’t make a huge difference. I just find that I’m working hard to get wide. Like you my summer weight was 185. I’m in Florida now so I plan to get back to 185. I can see how the shorter ski would work better at shorter line. I’m used to riding a 67 Radar. Any suggestions on the fin? I will try the wing at 8 degrees. I’m trying a 67 EVO tomorrow. The factory setting is 7 on that for 34mph.
  3. Yesterday I tried a 67 XTR in some pretty awful conditions. Windy and cold water - 58 degrees. STD fin settings with 9.5 on wing. I actually skied ok and was quite surprised as I felt light on the line but had width. It felt stable and predictable. Tried it agin today in better conditions but it felt like I was working hard. I had reduced the wing to 9 today but still felt like I was working hard. I’m 6ft 1 192 pounds and can run 12 on a good day if the stars are aligned. I’m skiing at 34mph.

     

    The Goode website rates the 67 up to 190 pounds. Any recommendations seeing as my weight fluctuates between 185-195?

     

    I moved the boots forward 1/8 tonight to see how it feels tomorrow. Is there anyone out there of similar weight / height who skis on the XTR?
