You probably need some binding lube but maybe not depending on the bindings you have now

I just bought that stuff because the guy at the counter told me i needed it for wakeboarding..

guess he wanted my cash

Yeah my guess is he did. There is no situation in wakeboarding where you will need shin guards, wrist guards, a neck brace, and goggles.

I wouldn't listen to anything that guy at the counter said. He either knows nothing about wakeboarding or just wanted to sell u some extra stuff for an extra buck. Might want to return a couple things.

If you have bad knees the knee brace might come in handy depends on what kind it is though.

Sorry to answer your question so late I was gone for a while, but I use Connelly/CWB Binding Slime just b/c that is what they sell at the local shop. You can't really go wrong with name brand lube though. You could also dilute some dish soap with water but I have that that can be risky to use on the binding materials

Where did you go to buy all that stuff? Whoever told you that is an ass trying to make a buck, return all that stuff.

hell, u should keep the shinguards, it'll be fun to watch u try to fit in your bindings Laughing

i think the neckbrace would also bring the whole look together too.

nah man, but seriously, i got a bad right knee from too many bball/soccer accidents, so i always bring along a knee brace if it starts actin up or hurtin.

keep it real,
