I pay for the boat.
I pay for the insurance.
I pay for the gas in the truck and the boat.
I pay for the Equipment to Wakeboard with.

I got so steamed when my brother inlaw and his over grown feet ripped my new binding / set up. Here is a pic of my New Parks DNA with Split bindings after his second run.

I cant afford to fix everything everyone breaks. Thus I am thankfull for HYPERLITES warrenty program. From here on out NO ONES RIDING MY GIRL, errr i mean board......

That looks like a TFD to me not a parks. And yeah Hyperlite is number #1 in warrantys for bindings, because they have to be to keep up with all the returns.

Congradulations DAWORD...... Looks can be decieving (sp?)

The board is a 2003 PARKS DNA 143 in TFD Clothing. Its a BLEM board. Check the tail. It got the wrong paint job at the shop.....!!!

And the bindings would not have ripped if my brother in-laws barges of a foot did not come in contact with them....

DaWorD, I do believe it is you and I that only see this. Why the hell would you want to buy something that the chances are really, really good it will have to go back for warantee? I don't get it.
Then again, I also think that wood is a fruit.

I said wood.

Steelerguy, not hatin', just curious...Why the Splits? You have Hyperlite's top of the line board, but low end bindings. Was it so others could use the board? If so, a bit ironic!

after droppin 250 down on a board, and having the previous years spits. I thought i would skimp out on buying a 300 dollar pair of bindings.... ive never tried any other bindings, I can only say they work for me. They worked great for others untill lastweekend. Now they can go buy there own gear.

Why do you say low end bindings ever ride them. take a look at the belmonts.. oddly similar.

Steelerguy · Addict Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 518

Here you go.... Belmonts retail for 399.99 thats more than i payed for the board.... the splits retail for 239.00 of course who the heck pays retail..... Still though... thats why everyone on this board says DEMO DEMO DEMO DEMO... go with what you like

belmonts have better support and a way way thicker foot bed they are both front lace and the simalaritys end there.....

Exact same hardware.
Exact same heel and toe rubber (different color).
Different wrap.
Velcro ankle strap. Actually probably holds up better than the Belmont due to not having to stretch open at all.

Had '02 Belmonts that separated and split (no pun intended) too. Dealer in Charlotte just gave me a new pair of '03s.

Said they might fix and return but not to count on it.

What size are your feet?
What size were the bindings?

wakeclt · Newbie Joined: 04 Jun 2003 Posts: 19 City: Charlotte, NC

7.5 or 8 shoe size.
Medium Belmonts.

One split so bad it was unusable, and the other started to split in the same place, just not as bad yet.

All happened in one day of riding. Had a couple big falls and found it when my girlfriend (smaller feet) couldn't get them to tighten.

i'll solve this and I think anti-shoobies will agree, ULTRA SUCKS ARE THE BEST BINDING EVER Razz

sorry to disagree dw, but i ride the 2003 byerlys with the new boa system and they are the most comfortable bindings ever. Easy in, Easy out. Wondering if hyperlite will ever put the boa system on the parks.

Not on the splitting and warranty subject , but hyperlites customer service I will agree is awesome.

My bro-in-law has a boat of a foot also ( 14 but really wide ) he had the belmonts ( XXL ) and they werent wide enough, his pinky toe kept cramping because the binding would cruch it. He tried every other pair of bindings that Hyperlite makes and could find nothing that fit comfortably. Hyperlite made him a custom pair of belmonts with a single foot bed. he put them on at the shop that got those done for him and he said they fit comfortable. Hyperlite didnt charge him extra for it or anything. Unfortunatly my bro-in-law tore his ACL at my wedding reception 3 weeks ago and hasnt gotten a chance to try the bindings on the water yet.

But Hyperlite has kick ass C.S.
