The announcers is okay, it’s way, way, way better than the Monster Truck style type. I can understand him not wanting to talk too much because he was the same announcer for everyone on shore.

Everyone on the webcast have coats on.

Is the one with the round hole for the wing thicker than the other one?

It’s hard to believe that could be caused by a engine locking up. Even if the prop stops instantly, I would never in my wildest dream, thought a DD would do that. Very odd..

@Than_Bogan I agree his post doesn't imply anything about competing but as a fan we can hope for the best.

Hey CP, you skiing in the Cali Pro Am this weekend???

I have spent a fair amount of time at Corey’s place. I can’t say enough good things about the people, coaching and the atmosphere. It’s a chill place to hangout in between sets. Also, both lakes, the one at Corey’s and RWSC, ski great with plenty of set up room at both ends.

Can she drive?

And yes, we are the closest to UR. The James river is good for skiing but there are no clubs or courses left on the river.

Yes, we “RWSC” are active and running.

Number 98

No, PB is on a ZO boat. I seem to ski better with ZO. My boat is PP Stargazer.

As a reference, I ran 22 last year about 5-6 times with 25ish Rico’s... lol

Can we talk about shipping details in the other CG fin thread? Please and thank you.

The tone of this discussion just changed from, nothing is working to “let’s keep it right there a few more sets!” Today was an awesome ski day and better than expected. I ran 22off four out of four times (34mph, ZO & straight boat path). I have never done that before. In the past if I make -22 I always cut the line and bang my head on -28. Today on the 2nd set I gave -28 a shot then dropped back and ran two more -22’s. I am not saying it’s the CG or the settings change or the T-factor. Maybe just the right combination of all three or two of them. I have been skiing better this year and running -22 even though I have been on four different skis. I will keep you posted on the progress. Thanks everyone for the input. Settings update: DFT set same as old fin, wing -2 to 7deg, front boot same as first T-F ride (correction to OP, actually 1/16” back of old boot). @Than_Bogan thanks! @AdamCord thanks for sharing the CG with us. @DW no work terms aloud... haha @thager no clue what you are talking about. How many off topics are you going to give me in a discussion about my ski??? @S1Pitts very interesting results. Were all of those larger 68”-69” ski’s?

You guys are depressing me. This is exactly why I have never bought hard shells.

@Than_Bogan I don’t like that answer. Don’t you have a setting that will get me another full pass?

@Drago ummm... no, I'll keep my back in a straight line. Back on task. I am thinking about going: a) T-factor forward to old setting b) DFT back to old setting per Ed c) wing -1 to 8 per many comments in the other CG thread Thoughts? Too many moves at once? Plan B is to repair the old binding and try the T-factor again next spring.

Thanks @Ed_Johnson I had it set okay before the CG.

@LeonL I know. I didn't plan on the boot blowing out and still want any help the CG fin can give.

@Than_Bogan set it to the same as the old binding and it just takes time to adjust?

I did not post this in the CG fin discussion because I did not want to clutter up the other CG fin discussion. I received my CG fin early in the season then spent the season trying 3 different skis, now I am back on my good Ol’ Vapor. Here we go; I have two free-ski rides on my ski with a CG fin (CG set to same as standard fin w/ DFT -.030 of .720). Two minor issues a) my old binding blew out and I am trying a T-factor for the first time b) I am at the low end of weight range on this ski and never got it dialed in just right. First ride with the T-factor: 32mph open water no buoys, front boot is set 1/8” back (29 1/4) just to make sure no crazy OTF’s. I could not get the ski to turn either side, felt like I could not get the front of ski in the water. The obvious next move is front boot forward 1/8. Is there any other move I should make to get this ski to feel smaller? Bindings forward and wing 1 less degree to 8? I am asking because I will only get 1-2 sets before our club has a fun C tournament and I want to do my best. Ski = ’16 Graphite Vapor 66” w/ RTP, 29 7/16” 6.935 2.455 0.750 9 deg, 40ish yo, 135 lb, 34mph max, average on this ski last year 2-3 @ 22off/34.

something else like a 65” Senate Lithium... B)

@BrennanKMN some good news, I know two families that ski on the Potomac River. Also, last I heard Timber Lake was looking for new members, it’s close enough to ski on the weekends. I’ll try to get you some contact info and PM you.

It’s too bad your job isn’t a little south of Ashburn. I was going to say look into a house at Lake of the Woods but that is a long 1.5 hr commute each way.
