08-09 Stance Combinations? Ronix on LF

Blindside_137 · Last edited by Blindside_137 on Apr 23, 2010 10:53 am; edited 1 time in total

Just got back from a local sports shop getting a tennis racket re strung and saw some cool stuff.

They had the 2009 Shane limited bindings and I couldn't believe how light they are. I tried them on though and did not like the fit at all. So I'm sticking with Ronix for bindings.

But I've been having some knee issues lately and really want a softer landing board. I love everything about my one board except for landings. I've always had my eye on the watson since it first came out and this shop had 3 of the 2009 limiteds and I thought they were pretty cool. I really would like to give this board a shot this summer and found it for a smokin deal.

My question: Will my 08 Ronix ones fit on the 2009 Watson?

opinions of the watson board are welcome

yes but you will have less stance options.

i have 09 reliks on a 09 watson.

I ride all the way out so would that be an option?

no you will loose the outermost and innermost options for sure if my memory recalls correct.

alright thanks! I'm still on the fence on the whole thing. I love my ronix and just get all excited thinking about a new board that I may not really need.. If i got hurt on the one i'd probably get hurt on the watson...

see if the store will let you bring in ur bindings and put them on the board so you can see if you like the stance?

true, but my bindings are at home right now and I finish school in a week. There might be a 2009 watson at the overtons at home and maybe they'd let me do that..

get your parents to ship you the bindings to school and take it to the shop? check ebay on watsons i saw some for cheap so a 09 watson for 210 bucks the other day..

yea i found the limited for 219. It's no rush.. I'm pretty broke right now and this is something i should think about for a while. Maybe once I start makin money this summer.

just wanted to hear if anyone knew they would fit

youll loose the outer most hole option since youll have to use that attachement thing for the binding. BUt the new Ronix bindings use alot less space than the older bindings, so its more like you are loosing half of the space between the last hole and the second to last hole - if that makes any sense at all

ahh ok. whats wrong with ur one board? u just want something new?

bridges, I actually really like the board a lot.. but I strained my PCL pretty bad falling on a 360 last year..

from there, anytime I landed in the flats, between the wakes on one wake jumps, and especially casing the wake, it caused more discomfort reaggravation with my knee. Mainly I hate how ronix says since their boards land fast they don't need any concavity which is total bull.

So like I said I'm looking for something that'll be nice on the knee. I've eyed the watson since 06, and seeing the limited today in person was awesome. And since I found it for 200 bucks I feel like it might be time to try something new.

ya I gotcha I know how the knee thing is I had knee surgery 2 years ago and my knee still isn't the same but I wear a knee sleeve that kinda keeps pressure on it alot so it helps some..

That looks great. I like that combo of bindings/board.

Stang, you have 7" binding plates on a 6" board spread so you lost the innermost and outermost stance options.

I'll have 8" binding plate on 6" board spread so i'd have to ride all the way out. I think i'm going to go for it though. I normally ride all the way out anyway and the watson then would be an extra inch out.. not too bad.

if your getting a new board size than your other board you have it might be a little difference also.. but a inch or so isnt gunna be a huge difference... just my opinion..
