Hips up
Now skiing on some near 80 degree water and finding that I'm having difficulty keeping hips from falling back. Ski seems to be very easy to overturn and having trouble keeping width on both sides. Move bindings back? 69' Senate C 08' 30.00 and stock fin settings.
Thanks

Re: Hips up
I felt the same thing when the water warmed up. I've completely gotten rid of the wing on my senate C. I couldn't do that at 36, but at 34 it's a no brainer. It really has freed the ski up. I can drive it out in front of me and never feel like I'm ahead of it. I did it after seeing Mike Munn run 39 1/2 off at 34 with no wing on his Goode 9900.

Re: Hips up

Remeasured my fin and was 2.494, 6.851, and something like .83. DFT is really hard to measure on Senate due to tail contour. So here is a little more to the story. The problem I was having with hips really started after the second wake and into off side turn. Ski seem to want to fall back and was a struggle to keep hips forward. This led into broken form turn, hips back hook-up position, and narrow from there on. I recently moved from powershell front w/RTP to a Reflex w/RTP set up.
Today I moved front binding back to 29.75 and adusted fin to 2.472. 6.825, and .85. Problem seems 90% gone, will ski it for a while but inclined to take a little more tip out or give the ski a try w/o foil.
