I just bought a used slalom ski and used it for the first time this last weekend. This is my first "real" slalom ski, that is it wasn't just a combo ski with a rear toe loop. Anyway, I got up just fine but once I was up and planed out, I kept getting sprayed in the face, especially when I was trying to turn. This hasn't been a problem with other skis that I've used. It was to the point that I couldn't keep my eyes opened.
The ski has an adjustable fin, with a "cheater" horizontal fin. Is there an adjustment that I could make so that when I'm riding the ski the spray is diminished or at least sprays more behind me instead of right in my face? Anything else I should change?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
