  1. Thanks for the insight, I will start looking for a decent travel bag of some sort. I'm in the Knoxville tn area, and will be headed to st. pete fla. The family likes the beaches there, and McCormick's is just a 30 minute drive. It will be nice to break up the winter bleh's.
  2. With my strada bindings I was at 29 7/16 or 5/8 (dont remember exactly) ....I had one more hole I could go forward, the problem is I'm out of sunshine and warm temps. I either need to take this back, sell it or keep it. I have always had the feeling when I get on a new ski, it either has potential to work for me, or not, and I probably have a biased opinion of HO ski's since I tore my acl on the cdx, and never ski'd one since till the S2.

     

    So if no one wants this one, Its going back to the shop on Monday....Its a couple hundred under what I'm seeing them go for online, so I thought someone might be interested.

  3. Got the s2 and set it up per some of the conversations on here. mostly setting the dft, since it was .780 when it came. Set it at .745 and mounted my bindings and skied.

     

    My first impression is it ski's very tip high. Just standing on it and the water was breaking about the ball of my foot and the tip looked way out of the water. Could have just been me, but I have been working on trying to balance my weight centered over the ski.

     

    The on side was really turning hard, the offside was very sweet! I'm disappointed in the cross course speed, but it could be because half of the ski is out of the water. My initial impression isn't really great, I think the over turn on the on side can be easily solved, but the cross course speed, - not sure how to fix that. ( comparison to current ride on the elite.)

     

    Suggestions?

  4. Skied much better this morning, life is back to being good again. I also remebered I had moved my binding one hole, so I moved it back and it felt much better. I need more ski time is one of my problems, kid in school, work is busy for me and ski partners and ski time is half what it should be, and it shows.

     

    Shane- how does the mid fire feel compaired to the elite? I probably need to keep working with the elite, there are a lot of things I like about it, but I've also always wanted to ski a goode, and the fire is pretty atractive priced and warranty looks good. Did you order inserts or drill your own, or ??
