bindings

I just learning to wakeboard and am considering a new board/bindings. I currently have an old CWB Swirl w/sandle bindings. My boat is an I/O with a very small swim platform, so I usually strap on the board when in the water. I'm considering a package from boardco.com with a hyperlite motive. It gives options on bindings: Vario, Spin, or State. The price isn't much different, I just don't want a binding that will be a pain to get into or uncomfortable to wear.
Anyone have any experience with these bindings(board) or other suggestions.

Roger, those 3 bindings should all be easy to get into when your in the water. i personally have never tryed them on, but by looking at them i think i would go with the states.

the varios dont look like they have very much support. while the states have 2 velcro straps, that do a little, not a whole lot though, and two lace holder htings, where the rubber is alot thicker.

so back to the point, id take the state. plus you get $33 in bonus bucks Razz

My neighbor has the state bindings on his board and he says they're supportive and easy to get into.

If you can try the bindings on and see how they feel. If not pray that they work for you and are comfy.

I'll go with the state bindings. They do look better and more supportive.

Unfortunatly, I won't get the $33 bonus bucks. That only applies to the Motive 134/State package, I think the 140 would be a better size for me(180lbs).

Any comments on the Motive vs State boards. I noticed it's a newer design and have read some great reviews on it.
