yeah ive seen em, but i really doubt they'll last, theres gonna be alot of pressure points in my mind

pressure points? looks like a snowboard inspired design to me. i never have an issue with pressure points snowboarding. could be cool!

no but snowboard boots are really thick, wakeboard boots are pretty thin comparebly

For those that don't know WTF you guys are talking about, I looked 'em up.

Looks pretty interesting, obviously this design works great with snowboarding. It will be interesting to see if it catches on in wake. The bindings look weird to me since I'm used to looking at SB bindings, I wonder why the high backs are so short?

I already though of this, It already excists in Trickski... Now finally in wake, I am curious if its better, or just a preference...

that would be perfect for urban wakeboarding. might have to pick up a set for my winchin board.

kartman, oh yrah just pay the 600$ bucks that theyll cost jjust for my beater. but yeah it would be good for urban to be able to walk out the line for your winch and strap in for half the time, all im sayin is for long boat runs i thin it will creat some pressure points.

LakeIolaLuke, are the boots intended to be walked around in?

I'm sure we'll hear all we want about these bindings after Surf expo's over.

I am not sure if i like this concept. I can se the advantage with winching, and maybe when going to the cable, but not behind the boat.

I think the product has to mature a season or two, before i could consider them.

and that is only if they get good reviews.

one of my friends is completely sold, so i guess i can try them next season, and find out how they ride.

I will stick to my Ronix One´s for now

I would really like to give these new binding boot setup a try seems like a great idea in theory.

i think the strap would be best if it was like the large strap on flow bindings, wakeboard boots are kinda thin compared too snow boots

I demoed them at the OWC when I went to surf expo. They were great especially if you ride cable parks or winch a lot. You can get them in and out in no time. Very comfortable and really locks you into the board.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense for cable parks as long as the soles are durable enough you could pop right off the board and walk in them rather than lace up//unlace all day..
