    OB4s helped me out today

    Hi @Than. ..good skiing...glad it's still warm 20 miles east of here...As a long time fan/user of "pin systems" (fogman for well over 10 yrs) I have been very interested in the ob4s...My ONLY question has been whether one could release only one boot...big "NoNo" for me...I thought the answer was no but if I read your post correctly it may be yes...would you clarify sometime at your convenience

    Pangaea Puddle

    10 years ago some friends from MA convinced me to go visit and ski Pangaea...am I glad i did! besides being an awesome place (like @than and @chef describe), my family now counts the Vosburghs as our dear friends. This week end I will be going up there by myself for the first time in ten years...older son in college and younger son injured. But it's been a great family affair for all these years. Will look forward to meet @slvrbulit

    I wish i could still add my name to the @patmaster and @kdeupser camp...up to about 3 years ago i was in the same boat...very good 28s, 50% 32s, PB 2@35...last couple of years not so good 28s, maybe 5% 32s...well, if i ever get back to good 28s i will follow the advice on learning 32/35

    Loose pylon

    The panel on mine just "sits" there now...originally it was held by one (or two) screws near the top. remove screws and slide it up...it does require a bit of manipulating to free it up. once removed use two wrenches to tighten the bolt/nut on the pylon. awkward position but doable

    O'Brien Conquer Review

    Also testing a Conquer...a couple of questions please...O'Brien size/weight charts not helpful... at about 140-145 lbs would the 64.5 be the right size? @Drew says 66 not as good as 64 and 68, so i'm hoping the 64 would be the right size for me. Also O'Brien's fin numbers are: L=6.730; D=2.495; DFT=0.720; Boots=28.25". anyone can confirm or suggest other #'s? I'm also testing an 65.5 Endo and cannot get the fin to the L # unless i modify it as it bumps up against the screws on the fin block (I posted on separate thread regarding the Endo). Thank you!

    trying out a 65.5 Endo...O'Brien website has the following #'s:L=6.725; D=2.505; DFT=0.720; Boots 28.75'...would anyone confirm if these are correct? I cannot even get to the L=6.730 (using tips) unless I modify the fin...it bumps up against the holding screws. Any suggestions or different numbers? Thank you
