This is my first season wakeboarding, I am progressing ok I guess. I have two questions, first my lower back is killing me after a few runs, is this becuase my stance is off, im outta shape, or is this just a normal side effect of the sport? I'm 5'11 215lbs, not exaclty in great shape riding a 142. Second I just picked up a new pair of 07 State bindings and towards the end of my runs the outside of my foot towards my toe starts to cramp really bad. It is the only reason my runs arent longer, after a while i cant stand the pain and I have to stop. Is there any way wo losen up the fit in that one spot, the bindings feel great everywhere else. Thanks in advance for any input.

P.S. I should be able to get W2W my next time out, im SOOO close.

i have major back problems, but they were prior to WBing, WBing just makes them worse and hurt.

i have to stretch before going out, try this.
my guess is your form and stance is off. probly weight is way too far back which will put a pinch at the lower back. remember 60% rear foot, and 40% front foot with your weight. the key to testing this is to have your front and rear knees pretty close to equally bent.
