2 days ago we were out behind a waverunner wakskating and my brother threw a kickflip landed on the board but the board kept coming around and broke his ankle.... like his toes went up toward his shin and just broke it. It sucks because he just bought a 2005 CWB set up and our boat is going back in the water tomorow. Hes realy bumbed but atleast I have a driver from now on...lol Also he's getting a waterproof cast.... does anyone wakeskate with a waterproof cast???? O and if you want his board and bindings or either he is selling it all.... 2005 Absolute 135 and 2005 Zeus large... chrisw1@tampabay.rr.com

Pick up the August issue of Wakeboarder, they have a picture of a guy with florescent green cast wakeskating.

Not sure if the payoff would be worth it. To make it waterproof they eliminate the padding. They hurt like hell.

Just tell him to stay off it for 6 weeks & he'll be back riding no problem. It'll hurt like hell at first but it will get better. Mine used to kill me & the nI'd go riding & it would feel better, riding was my rehab, started slow & then just charged it.

The Zeus are awesome. Incredibly comfortable & they have a ton of support. Get em they are dope!! Basically he's selling my current setup, some one is stoked.

the zuess are great bindings, comfortable, easy entry, amazing hold
the only problem with mine are that i have incredibly flat feet, and the zuess have a arc in the footbed, so i can only ride for 10 mins without my foot going numb and hurting

Enzo, take them apart & get rid of the arc. It's really not that hard, get yourself some 3M adhesive spray & a few closed cell foam shims & you can shape your footbed to your liking. Medium grit sandpaper works great for shaping the foam.
