Big ski setup "short" at 34mph makes a lot of sense to me. Up to a point it should make for an earlier smoother transition and more consistent turns.

So at the end of the season here I have had a few sets on 2.500 6.865 .800 8 degrees - with my boots pushed as far forward as I could get them to go so need to measure but the ski felt pretty dam quick last set and turned really well both sides. I was not able to get past 3@-38 but skiing once a week I was pretty happy with the overall feel. Still loving what the fin does for the KD and I could never see myself going back to the stock fin. Just for fun I threw the fin into the old Quest and it felt much better side to side but the gap between the D3 and the KD is so vast I did not want to spend the time to adapt so the experiment was over. I still think the CG fin is a significant advance and a dirt cheap performance upgrade, what it does for your offside is worth the price alone. I recall messing up 2 ball on a 38 this season really badly and still going out the gates early, I've never had a ski setup that could do that until now.

Those are actually pretty close to the numbers I was running on my GT (67) with my boots further forward and the ski was super friendly and easy to ride.

Ski went vertical on 1 - 3 - 5 @SkiJay would be interesting to know how you tuned this out?
-
What settings are you currently running?
-
Agree so there are a few variables but he was not as far up on the boat as the first three but the result out of 1 ball was probably the best. 4 gate shots is not enough to draw any real conclusions from. He did set an new Aussie record so big congrats to him for that, something is working.
-
Ok so he said that he was taking a softer pullout into #4 so does that translate into narrower, probably. Does anyone actually think going narrower on your gate shot at shortline is a good thing?

A young dude that runs -39 every time I see him ski, seems to be very consistent.
-
Love it, did you get the big engine?
-
@Horton are you / would you be keeping the fin in your ski in your pursuit of more buoys at -39?
-
Does anyone have an answer on this? I started thinking about the weight vs boat equation and how much extra weight must hurt skiers trying to to get down -41. I'm thinking Parish would be the largest / heaviest but I have no idea what he would wight in at. At some point north of 210 - 220 the weight has to be a really really big disadvantage making -41 almost impossible unless you have a seriously dialed in ski / setup. It seems in the modern era that smaller guys are getting it done and despite better equipment, new ZO, ropes, skis we are still not seeing many big skiers getting into -43.
-
What are they asking for the new 200 and how are the actual OTD prices? They must be selling a few of these by now.
-
Would be interesting if there was an option for the Denali CG fin also.
-
Austin Abel has been running the new boat at Abel Ski School. I'm sure he will be happy to tow anyone who wants to try it out.
-
He did Horton better than Horton.
-
Not a straight leg to be seen when this boy skis.
-
Spoke with a guy a few weeks ago in Florida that made similar comments about the turn stability. If it's loose at -32 its going to be interesting at -38 so it will be interesting if you can tune it or adapt. Maybe a bit less DFT :)
-
Intuition liner and 1 buckle with rubber strap works really well. Plenty of mobility much like a kicker, it retains the double boot stability and feel just enough.

Once up to speed I dont think the new ski would push more water than the 200, I would have thought the reverse? Having spent plenty of time driving both it feels like the ski is more on top of the water.
-
For the doubters just try the fin, its a small investment for a bloody big gain. Its a good way to sample the Denali effect. I know at least two pros that run it and probably dont want other pros finding out.
-
I cant wait to pull your trick set today said nobody ever.... when I see the trick ski come out I start praying for my phone to ring. If its a toe set just shoot me in the head. You never get that time back. Im stil trying to work out a payback ratio but its about 9 slalom sets to one trick set and toes almost needs some off the water favors to make it fair.

The front strut on our training boat had 2 settings, the shorter setting pulled the front down which seemed to help.
