hey

i own link bindings mounted on an obrein oasis 137. its a damm good setup but ive been having trouble with how to position them, i find that when im carving way out the front binding twists my leg, i nalso find that when i go out too fast i start to do a backwards butterslide unintentionally.
how shiuld i adjust my bindings to fix this?

thanks

i dont think thats so much binding setup problem as edging problem. but for setuting up your bindingsall the way out is usually good unless your really short. then just angle so that your comfortable when riding.

Find some stairs, jump from the 2nd or 3rd, and where your feet land is where you should put your bindings. Adjust from there.

No one can tell you how to put your bindings, I just found that is a good starting point. If you edge out and your shins get sprayed just back them up a notch and try again. Trial and error and a patient driver works the best.......good luck!

I moved mine out and in and ducked and unducked them untill when I was right behind the boat it felt comfortable to stand there holding on with one hand. I wouldnt have to put any effort to keeping the board straight, so thats where I left them.

I have the obrien oasis 137 as well. I can edge as far out as i can get and it doesnt bother my leg with the way I have them currently positioned.
