@SkiJay Yep,actually I stand the ski on end and measure with caliper head, easier to put thumb pressure on head of caliper and seems to be more repeatable or accurate I guess. Andy Mapple has a video on youtube describing this method. I hope to get on the water today and try your settings, just cant get the dft any further back than .740 without filing on the fin slot.

@SkiJay Thanks for the numbers, however I can't get the dft as far back as .705 on the 68.5 without modifying the fin slot, hits the clamp screw at approx .740. I have tried Skidawgs numbers and for some reason, rff vs lff and hard shells vs Wileys,or195lbs vs 215lbs not sure why but just didn' feel right. This ski is very sensitive to small changes.

@ShaneH Thanks, I will try those settings. Just one more question . I know DFT can be very sensitive on this ski. When you move the fin forward(any ski) does it tighten the onside turn and fix slack problem on onside and what effect does it have on the offside?

I have tried many different fin/binding settings. Basically I am not sure what are stock settings for the 68.5. With my current setup it turns very slow on my 1,3,5 onside and does not hold angle offside to onside, seems very sensitive to any changes I make. Any suggestions would be most welcomed. Water temp is approx 55 degrees ,my skidays are quickly ending.

@skiJay trying to dial in a 68.5 elite what were your settings for your elite and binding location I am lff 215 lbs 29 3/4, 2.520,6.833tips and .790 dft, 32mph @28-32 off, so far this ski is kind of not working very well.
