What is the best method to running the course? Is it best to slow down to 26-28mph (and risk sinking too much), or should you increase the speed and focus on going round ball 1and 2, go just inside 3 and 4, then try to go round 5 and 6. Does anyone have a method that has helped teaching people. Thanks.

Chris Rossi has a great video on you tube about setting your fin.

Thanks for all the advice @SkiJay and @ShaneH . After reading your posts and not being able to remove the fin block to adjust it, I have decided to get back on my senate C. The senate C is 67in and skis great, just wanted to see what the KD was like.

Here's hoping someone can help with the factory settings. The current set up is Depth 2.48in, DFT .92in, fin length 6.89in. Back of the front binding is 29.21in from tail. I am 187lb and it's a 66in ski. @Horton I ski at 34mph 15off, and only ski in the course every couple of weeks. You can still buy KD skis over here but this one is probably 10 years old like you said.

I have been given a KD 7000 to try. My off side feels great, nice and smooth, good angle and acceleration but my on side wont turn. Bindings are central and fin is stock. What adjustment to the fin should I do to help initiate the turn. Thanks ballers.

Hi all, I have double RS1 boots mounted on a sequence plate and want to go back to a RTP. Does the radar RTP fit onto the plate or is there a better way. Thanks ballers.

A mate of mine did the same thing playing football. Does'nt really bother him. Looks like he has one arm bigger than the other so we call him clock.

I need to plant more weed.

Hope this is not off topic. I am a 15 off (32mph) skier as well. Should i be altering binding position, fin, wing or should i get my body position correct first. I have the classic butt dragging behind technique.

I have ear problems which has required me to see an audioligist alot in the past 8 months. It nearly put an end to my skiing. I wanted to get back on the water and suggested Docs pro plugs to my audioligist, she checked them out and said they may not offer much protection in a high speed crash. She said i should get some custom made swim plugs. They are great, they look the same as the ones Wish posted above. They do dull the sound a bit, but the peace of mind knowing you wont damage your ears or get water in them is fantastic.

@PT Mike , agree on saltwater being more forgiving. Nothing like an early morning session on saltwater.

@PT Mike, totally agree about dawn skiing, could`nt think of a better way to start the day. (except for one thing, but that doesnt happen much anymore). It does take a bit longer to warm up compared to skiing in the evening. I was free skiing on a tidal river the other day with about a 2mph current. Had perfect pass set at 34mph, skiing with the flow my airguide speedo was showing 32mph and skiing against the flow it was showing 36mph. Trying to work out how this would effect times through a fixed course.
-
Mike, how do your times go skiing through the course when the tide is coming in or out. If the course is fixed but the water is moving at 2or 3mph do you need to adjust the speed after one pass then coming back the other way. Hoping somone with more intelligence than me can explain how it would work. I am thinking about setting up a portable course in a tidal area as well.

Hi everyone, Geoff Young here. 40 from Victoria Australia. Pb 15off 32mph, really keen to run a 34mph pass. Only get in the course about once a month so mainly free ski. Ski behind 94 prostar 190, perfect pass stargazer, 67 radar senate c.
Best way to learn the course.
