Future of Wakeboarding. Gear Issues

Hooly · Newbie Joined: 10 Mar 2008 Posts: 9

I am currently carrying out research to inform a design project creating products for the future of wakeboarding, more specifically binding systems.

To determine product characteristics which could be improved I am looking for user feedback on any aspects of equipment eg. Ease of use, Comfort, Durability, Aesthetic..

What issues do you have, or have you had with Wakebaording gear?

Any information you can contribute will be very much appreciated!

Bindings cost too damn much. Fix that.

QNev, I totally agree!

That's the only major I can think of right now, seems like everything else is getting to be pretty much as good as it can be.

See if you can get Chaparral to start making some bindings to go along with their kick-ass 'wake'boats.

I wouldn't call that it irresponsible necessarily... if it was a paid review and they gave it 5 stars or something, sure. It's up to consumers to research their purchases.

if board felt more like snowboards, then i'd probably start wakeboarding again

Thinner USCGA vests would be nice
