I saw a guy this past weekend slip on a pair of socks before putting on his bindings. What sort of benefits / downfalls could wearing socks have while wakeboarding?

Ha ha! Laughing Yeah, I thought it seemed a little ridiculous myself, but I wasn't sure if there was some sort of advantage to wearing them? I've yet to see any pro wakeboarders wear them.

Maybe the dude had super hairy feet and putting on socks kept the bindings from ripping out his feet hair. Laughing

My friends & I just figured that maybe the bindings were too big for his feet, so he put on thick socks in hopes they'd fit better. I dunno. I agree that wet socks = gross! Smile Thanx for the advice ya'll!!!
