binder break-in

[nailem]

im sure this has been asked but i did a search and came up with nothing.

out side of the obvious "wear them" what is the best way to break in new bindings. i just bought a new board and bindings. i have the correct size and i know they should be snug but these were real tight. thanks

Are the tight around the toes? My old LF bindings were so tite around my toes that my feet would go numb. To fix that problem rite after a session put a soda can in the toes and leave it there over nite or until the next time the board is being used. That should let some tension up so it isn't so uncomfortable. I learned this Gordy Bubolz wake camp and if possible try not to use Lava Juice or other lubricants to get the can in.

If they are stiff around the ankle or tite around the ankle...tough luck. Maybe try to loosen that a little but not so much that your whole foot is moving around. Hope this helps.

mostly tight around the top of my foot so the can trick might work. thanks
