We recommend starting with a wing angle of 7 degrees. Some current D3 skiers are using the Nomad with the X5 recommended fin settings.This may be a consideration if the above settings do not work as expected. Extreme shortline skiers may want to add to a bit of depth to the fin.


 Ski Binding Placement:
 
  • Measurements are from the back of the heel rubber on front boot to tail of ski
 

How we measure the fin:

 

Ski Preparation:
  • We use a mold release in our production process.
  • Your ski will feel smoother and more consistent if you clean the ski
  • bottom with a mild cleaner and sponge.
