Hello guys,

Just bought a new LF wakeboard/bindings and want to know if I should take of the bindings after each use. If the clams could damage if engaged for long time.

No, I don't think so, If anything it's better to keep them tight, because they could loosen after riding with them on constantly for a while and that could cause more damage then just leaving them on the board

What are clams? Neutral

Think he meant the clamps to the board, keeping the bindings on.

I wouldn't worry too much about taking bindings off or on after each use, I always keep my bindings on at all times, and nothing is wrong with the screws, bindings, or board. Very Happy

Oh. Clamps. Ok....what clamps? Laughing

I can't see how leaving bindings on the board would make a bit of difference.

If you ride in saltwater (like I do) rinse all of your gear with fresh water after every ride. Other than that, I don't think there's much else to worry about as far as board/bindings go.

Thanks for the replies,

Yes, with clamps I meant, the screws for the bindings. I have LF Alpha bindings, and they come with a system that when tight enough you need to push the clamp (or screw) down so it engages being imposible to uncrew until you pull it back again.

That´s why i was wondering if leaving them engaged will make a difference.
