While I'm all for it...I have a bit of a gripe.
Just bought my first board in about 9 years - an 11 Watson hybrid. I recently got back on the board for the first time in a while (have moved countries, got bored, live near a cable park etc)
I bought some Byerly Pro bindings to go with it, which are awesome. I have one question - why do bindings not really sit flush anymore?
What happened to old fashioned base plates which you stick some bones on and screw in the bolt with a washer and the binding doesn't move at all? 
Anyway, testing it out tomorrow, will see how it goes. |

Most likely the bindings or the hardware. My Sovens and Harleys are level on that board with no play.

Put a washer in there. LF has shallower inserts than Hype/Byerly. Not a big deal, either grind your screws a bit shorter, or put a little washer on top of the toothed one that came with the bindings.

k.anderson3454, A highly specific piece of wakeboarding equipment. It is comprised of a precision milled disc of either metal or plastic, which circumvents the shaft of a screw or bolt and allows for voids or gaps in components to be filled, allowing proper fitment.
Most look simiar to this:
