New Bindings

I'm looking to get new bindings this year, any suggestions?? I'm kinda leaning towards the hyperlite parks or temet. Or is there any other better ones out there?

I personally like the byerly. it's a little less hassle than the temets with only 1 lace. and I don't really care for the "option 2" strap. It's just another thing to adjust in the water after a hard fall. The liquid force alpha's are super comfy too, and under $200!

What ezactly are you looking for in bindings? Flex L to R or front to back? Easy on and off, or strapped down....?

I'm looking for a binding that will give me support allow front to back flex, that are easy enough to get on in the water after a wipe. And something that I can ride in for hours without my feet killing! I am I asking too much.... Very Happy

the byerly's do everything you just described very well.

Don't know how short you are but I'm pretty short so a lot of the bindings come up a bit high on me and dig into the bottom of my calf. I planned on getting Temets but had one of those on and the Parks and ended up getting Parks. They didn't seem to dig into my calf like the others. The footbed in the Parks are sooo comfy too. Tried on the Byerlys too and liked them better than I thought I would but still came up bit too high.

look at the Minx too. They are built for ladys. My Girlfriend rides the Byerlys, and she loves them.

A lady specific binding would probably the most comfortable. The back of the bindings are lower seeing as woman have lower calf muscels then men. Snowboard bindings are the same. The Minx looks like a good choice. Good Luck.

I have gone through several paris of bindings trying to find ones that I like. I have the Parks right now and I love them. They are super comfy, easy to get on and off, and they keep your heel down while you are riding (something I had a problem with with my other bindings). Anyway good luck with your search!
