RS-1 boot setting for GOODE

Chris,

Where would you recommend setting my size 9 RS-1's boots on my 65.5" GOODE 9700? I only skied on my boots a few times before I broke my rib and I'm still not skiing. Since I broke my rib I mounted my boots on a G-10 plate and my current settings are 28 5/8" Front and 17 2/8" Rear.

Thanks

Factory for that ski is listed at 29 1/8"  I would say 28 3/4 to 28 7/8" will work for you.

Thanks, what about the rear boot location which has no factory specs? I know you put a lot more emphasis on the rear boot location compared to others.

Scott,
    What are your fin settings?  I used to run my rear foot between 17 1/8 to 17 1/4 on the Goode.  It looks like you are there with the RS1 boots on your 9700 so lets try to set the fin up to compliment that binding placement.

6.883 (Jaws)
2.449
0.690

The main problem I have at times is tip rise at the finish of my of-side turn.

Thanks
