|

Whatcha guys recommend? Need easy one handed entry/release, good support, and all day comfort. Price doesn't matter. My bindings now are a PITA and are thankfully starting to tear. _________________ A good friend will bail you out of jail. A great friend will sit next to you saying, "man that was cool as f*ck!" |

I use the BEST bindings. They are easy to get in and out of and comfy. They are very basic and do the job without alot of bells and whistles. I hear the LF bindings are also great. I havent tried them but I hear they work well. _________________ TONA

Are those laces? I've got laces on my current bindings and they drive me nuts. Granted they're also not setup very well...
Ideally I think I'd like something like these NSI's: http://www.northshoreinc.com/kitetantrum.html
(scroll all the way down)
I just don't know how comfortable/supportive those would be. _________________ A good friend will bail you out of jail. A great friend will sit next to you saying, "man that was cool as f*ck!" |

why are you all riding full bindings, sandals are where it is at! how you gonna do board offs with a board locked to your foot!
in all seriousness, sandals, although taking some time to get use to, are a much better option for kiteboarding, and once you go back to wakeboarding with full bindings you'll be tha shizzle |

I suppose it really depends on riding style. I personally think board offs are ghey so that's not really something I'm gonna miss. I've used straps, straps with heel straps, sandals, and full bindings and I'd take the full bindings anyday. Takes me an extra minute per session to get in/out of em and I get unrivalled support and control in return. _________________ A good friend will bail you out of jail.

Hey Wallrat,
I got a new pair of Unions that I'm selling. LF makes them and I got the larges but need the mediums. The larges fit size 9 to 11 mens. I've ridden them twice and decided that i need the smaller mediums. Let me know if you are interested.

Slider, How are those for easy one handed entry/exit. Looks like they'd be a bitch! Maybe I'll see if my local shop has a pair so I can try em on. I've got a pretty wide foot so bindings aren't usually very easy for me to get into. _________________ A good friend will bail you out of jail.
