Any recomendations on board and bindings?

I am addicted to wakeboarding. I currently ride last years 131 premier and have size small LF Transit bindings (I wear a 6.5 shoe). Whenever I clear the wake, I manage to blow out the front of my bindings. I have a fast aggresive cut and I am wondering if there might be a better board and bindings for methat might be better for me and my style of riding.

may i suggest the obrein atla board i have a 136 ... but the board is good because you can grow in to it and it has double fins so its easy to cut and get air..... as for bindings i have the liquid force elements that are super comfy! my friend has the minx lf bindings and they hurt her feet still after having them for about a month and 1/2... i am still new to the sport my self but i got totaly hooked so i bought my board..
good luck!

you might look into the shanes, or even the 3DS boots..both are close-toed and might help the problem with your feet shooting out the front. As for boards...are you looking for something with more pop or something smoother? I am absolutely in love with the Watson board, because it gives the smooth feel of a continuous rocker board that I love, but also has some incredible pop.

i think the reason why you may be sliding out the front when clearing the wake is because the premier, IMO lands hard. I think you should look into a board with softer landings and possibly try on some women bindings which may hold your small foot down better.

They do not Make the Shanes in my size and my husband broke his Shanes in half at the plate after riding on them 3 times . Shocked

I am worried about how well they are made. My problem I am having is finding a binding that fits a woman's 6.5 foot. I haven't looked into the 3DS boots. As for a board, I am looking for a smooth ride with a lot of pop.

The Minx have great hold for small feet, try on some small ones. If you want a smooth ride with lots of pop I'd highly recommend the Watson board too. I've tried it, it's a fast board, it's very loose on the water even with fins on and has a lot of pop! Very soft landings as well
