Introducing the CG Classic by Denali Skis

ROBOT

Denali’s patent pending Asymmetrical Hole Design is now available on the standard fin shape! Immediately make your on side turns more automatic, and your off side turns more stable and predictable. Just replace your stock fin with the CG Classic using your same settings, and you will instantly have better turns, more control, and be running more buoys.

 

It’s as simple as:

1. Order from Denaliskis.com and choose Right Foot Forward or Left Foot Forward

2. Measure your current fin and wing settings before removing

3. Mount your new CG Classic with your same settings, using your original wing and hardware

4. Run more buoys!

Details:

• Fits all skis with an adjustable fin

• Made from aerospace grade 7075 Aluminum

• Anodized for maximum corrosion protection

• .09” Thickness (industry standard)

The asymmetrical hole design has been tested and proven by hundreds of skiers.  

Available only at denaliskis.com

I should say that these are IN STOCK now, which is a nice change for us. The idea with this fin is to make the transition easy and simple. No adjustments required, just mount the fin in the same place as your old one and ski.

RFF Fins are anodized black, LFF fins are anodized clear

Horton

@AdamCord that's terrible. I am right for forward and I want the silver fin

Sprayblaster

RFF = The Darkside

Horton

@Sprayblaster you are right. The silver one looks wimpy. All hail the dark side.

DangerBoy

@AdamCord @adamhcaldwell How much effect do these fins have at speeds slower than 34 mph, say 30 - 32 mph? Are the effects of the asymetrical holes more or less noticeable at slower speeds?

AdamCord

@DangerBoy the asymmetrical holes are not speed dependent in any way. We've been testing these holes on standard fins for the past 2 years, and have had success at all levels.

jimbrake

@AdamCord - you wrote "The idea with this fin is to make the transition easy and simple." Transition from what to what? From a stock fin to the CG fin? I thought your CG fin was awesome and easy to transition to from a stock fin.

Horton

@AdamCord should I give @jimbrake a panda ?

AdamCord

@jimbrake
While the CG Fin has been way more successful than we had ever imagined, it can take some adjustment to get dialed.

The CG Classic just...doesn't. It is the same shape as what's already on your ski, it just works better by bringing asymmetry into the mix. That way your turn and pull on both sides will get better right away.

ISP6ball

@adamcord will you phase out the original CG fin, or are there advantages with that fin on certain applications?

AdamCord

@ISP6ball no this doesn't replace the CG Fin.

If you are not afraid of trying something new and are willing to make tweaks and adjustments to get the best possible setup, get a CG Fin. If you want to buy a higher buoy count and not have to do any adjusting, get a CG Classic.

I could see these selling like hot-cakes in a good proshop.

Sprayblaster

@BraceMaker I dont see how syrup and butter will help sales.

adamhcaldwell

Quick story... Roughly 14mo ago I got a phone call and some video from a 'skier'. This skier was struggling to get a start at 41 and not getting the scores they once did and was struggling with tail blow issues at 41. I recommended working on the GUT style gate, but more importantly upgrading the fin he was using on his ski.

This skier then started riding an early version of the CG classic, and within a couple weeks was running back to back 41s in practice. Said skier, who we are not allowed to name (due to contract issues) may or may not have had the highest score at one of the recent pro events.

BraceMaker

@Sprayblaster even better pancakes at the proshop.

@Sprayblaster What gave you the impression that Adam and Adam were trying to help sales?

adamhcaldwell

My phone exploded yesterday with people trying to get their hands on a CG Classic! The first huge pile went out the door last night.

We have already ordered another batch of fins, however, if you don’t want to get stuck waiting on batch #2, don’t hesitate to make a move ASAP.

I know people are anxious to get going on the season so I will be trying to keep up with shipments every night for next couple weeks!

Horton

@adamhcaldwell Mine is already in the mail???

BlueSki

@adamhcaldwell, I am certain that the fins can wait. Those people could have ordered a CG fin months ago if they believed in science. Clearly the C75s are going to the hardest-working and hardest-skiing Americans that have the strongest confidence in your work.

adamhcaldwell

@horton
Darkside is in route.

jedgell

Got my order in, looking forward to using it wtih my EVO!

Horton

@adamhcaldwell
👍👍👍

Jaypro

THE question is will it help us 15-22' off skiers?

Skierx

@Jaypro That fin doesn't know what length your at. The asymmetrical holes affects the water flow around & through the fin as it turns it free's up the back of the ski helping it to pivot around the Apex naturally with less input from the skier. So with help turn the ski at any length or speed.

mdriggs

Does the CG Classic require a bit less wing angle, as the original CG fin seems to, for most users?

jedgell

Got mine yesterday, order was placed late last week! Now just need the weather to cooperate.

Skierx

The one I ordered for my friend to make his Goode even better arrived today. Order was placed late last week.@mdrggs if you scroll to the beginning of this post it tells all about the fin. Same settings you've been running including the wing, just install the CG classic and run more buoys. If you like adjusting fins and getting the most possible performance out of your ski then get the CG standard.

keithh2oskier

Do you mind explaining what the design behind the asymmetrical holes do? @Skierx notes it frees the back of the ski to pivot easier. Can that also result in an easier to blow the tail out symptom? Just curious.

Than_Bogan

HA! No.

I'll let someone more expert make a longer answer...

z_skier

I saw these fins first-hand as a raffle item at the NCWSA All Stars tournament this past weekend. (Thank you Denali Skis for the tournament sponsorship!) Really neat design.

2 of my friends won the classic shape fins, and another friend of mine won the original CG fin! I can't wait to hear from them on how they perform!
