Thanks to all. Hope to be back at it this weekend, so will start getting used to the faster speed and will play around with rope length some. 03RLXi, yep, I also bought a hovercraft earlier this year as a guest ski to have on boat. Great ski to transition someone from 2 skis into deep water slalom starts without going thru the hassle of dropping a ski. I still have fun playing around with it from time to time.

I'm 56 years old, skied occasionally when I was much younger, but never enough to get past absolute beginner back in those days. I've started putting some effort into it the last couple of years now that I have a boat, and feel like I'm at least on the low side of intermediate now. Deep water starts are no longer an issue, starting to charge back into and cross the wake a bit more aggressively this year. I've been using a Radar Session I bought early last summer, but bought a Radar Union for this season based on reviews and feeling like I was ready to move up the ladder just a little. I've done very well on the Session, but the Union feels a little squirrelly at times to me. The Union will sometimes get an unexpected twitch or wobble from side to side. Nothing that has caused me to wipe out, but I haven't felt nearly as confident yet on the Union as with the more beginner friendly Session. Any advice on adjustments I might consider? I have the heal of the front boot set to the recommended distance from back of ski, and the fin is set in the middle position. Being older, I try to stay at the low end of the speed range, so I'm usually around 22 to 24ish on the Session and feel just fine. I weigh about 155. Maybe the Union needs a little more speed for stability?
