Ok, so I went out for the 3rd set on my new Bonifay bindings and they busted in half. I was working on 360s took a few diggers and bam!! I am going to call LF in the morning to see what they can do.

Sorry Shak, not 3rd set of bindings, but my 3rd set (runs) as in only been ridden 3 times behind the boat. Sorry for not making that more clear. I just purchased the bindings last week and mounted them on my new CWB Absolute Platinum, I was so stoked with the set up and the worst part is that I am heading out on a houseboat on Shasta lake for the next few days, now I have to go back to my Hyperlite Parks bindings for a few days.

sotwstd, did you buy them at a local shop? If so, you should be able to walk them back in and exchange them for new.

What Chavez said.

I blew out my LF Sphynx last year, and had them replaced in no time. Good luck.

But just to be me. Ditch the sneaker and get some CWB Zues' with the hinge. You'll love'em. I have the Abs Plat as well. Twisted Evil

I think the best bet would be to take hte shanes back and see if you can get some real closed toe bindings like the 3ds. Laughing
I noticed that you were already going back to a real pair of bindings as a backup. Shocked

I called LF today and left a voice mail for them, now just waiting for a call back. I purchased them off e bay so my best bet would be to work directly with LF. I love the feel of the bindings and would love to have a reliable set, but if I break another set I am going to something else. As for them busting on the 360, I think they might have been cracked from something else and just let loose on the 3. I took a few hard hits on Monday so who knows.

exactly what i did with my watsons didnt even ask for a receipt. but my friend broke his hyperlite drives 2 times and now he is really pissed that they have to send them back to hyperlite and the dealer doesnt just hand a new pair to him unless its been within 10 days.

I picked them up for $270 to my doorstep (boardshop who sells on e bay). I want to get them back so bad!!! I do have to say that they are SWEET to ride in, I just hope then next set doesnt snap after 3 rides.

call the board shop you bought from, if they are a good shop they will send you another pair or binding. happened to me on my LF Teams and i was going to Shasta that week, they sent me a new binding and a pre-paid postage for the broke one. quality customer service right there!
