I think some of the tips in this video are worth using for a repair to the top of the ski.

I find it interesting that there is no mention so far as to using the recommended fin settings. I assume that you meant it is at the default setting. I have never skied on a Strada so I cannot comment from experience about the dynamics of that particular ski but have read that a small adjustment of moving the fin forward will help with the turning. Seems like this should be considered @Waternut, since the ski is high performance, meant for riding it faster than 30MPH. But, I do believe that mindset might also be a factor. My personal experience on my CR7 (different ski, but just for illustrative purposes), and I am 180lbs, that at 28MPH, the water feels like skiing through Jell-O. Bumping up the speed for me brought the ski alive.

Good point @Ryno regarding counter rotation of the shoulders. Good point @AKShortline too!

@SM - RE: "...My current ski got around 6 at 41 off, unfortunately someone else was riding it at the time. Nothing tells you that you are the problem more than that." LOL! :)

I can really relate to the @miskier comment "The best scenario is that you immediately start crushing each pass and adjust quickly. When you do, then start pushing the capabilities of the ski." I skied on the same ski for the last five years and about a year ago, I figured out that you can take chances and there are boundaries or tolerances that the ski likes to perform in and when you learn those boundaries, the ski will work for you; no OTF, etc. I am now in the situation of changing to new ski and will have to learn those boundaries again, and then progressively start crushing it. Looking forward to a new season!
