Cold Water Settings for HO A1

Water has gone from 83F to 68F  with expected decrease in performance.  Does anyone have cold water settings for an A1 ??     Currently at stock, 6.480,  2.508,  .77   66.25" ski,  boot at 29.5

Try one of these at a time

-Increase Wing angle by 1 degree
-Move your fin forward .005
-Move your fin shallower by .005

I will.  BTW, I typo'd the setings above,  length is actually 6.840, not 6.480.  Thanks again

Re: Cold Water Settings for HO A1

I skied with the same water condition this weekend. I am an average skier and i can play with the fin but since the problem is often more me than the ski i like to keep it simple.....this weekend same as you the  water temp change drastically and became hard and fast 78 to 68 in 2 weeks. I just moved my front binding back one hole and the ski was really calm after that.  Worth a try before you play with the fin. my 2 cent.
