Wakeboard binding question around leg length difference

[bdh1974]

Has anyone tried building up the underside of a binding to accomodate a leg length difference.

I had a cycling accident back in 97 & my left leg (forward leg) is now 30mm shorter than my right leg. In my normal shoes I have orthotics with a raise to accomodate part of the shortening. I have had custom-made cycling shoes with a larger sole made to make up the difference.

Now that my wakeboarding is progressing I am thinking about how to go about raising the left boot to make me more level & take some pressure off the back.

Any thoughts

I would think you should have no problem shimming it up. Just put a plate of some sort between the binding and the board. I would say a thicker rubber to try to keep the weight down. Metal would be too heavy and rust. 30mm is a little steep though, no matter what you're looking at some extra weight on that boot.

Enygma, that is what I am thinking, the rubber should keep weight down & will shape better to board & binding.

It would also make it easier to shape to the bottom of the plate. I will track some down & test it out.

Cheers

you may need longer bolts to accomodate the shim. So maybe bring one to canadian tire and get something slightly longer. You don't want only 1 or 2 threads to be holding you to the board;)
