Wakeboard Bindings
What Are Wakeboard Bindings?
Wakeboard bindings, also referred to as wakeboard boots, secure your feet to the wakeboard. They can significantly impact your experience on the water, making it crucial to choose them carefully. When selecting wakeboard boots, consider factors such as flex, size, and compatibility with your board.
Which Wakeboard Bindings Should I Choose?
Wakeboard bindings differ in flex and binding design. Additionally, the ideal wakeboard boot depends on your style of riding. Flex is a vital characteristic. Stiff wakeboard boots are often the best option for riders seeking excellent ankle support, stability, and speed. In contrast, softer bindings offer greater mobility. Typically, bindings for beginners are softer than those designed for more experienced riders.
Binding design relates to the closure and lacing mechanism. Boots can have an open or closed toe and use methods such as velcro straps, the BOA lacing system, or rubber straps. The choice of lacing system is based on rider preference. Open boots provide more flexibility and space, while closed boots ensure a tighter fit, offering enhanced control and leverage on the board.
What Size Wakeboard Bindings Do I Require?
Your boots should fit closely without any heel lift, yet not so tightly that they cause discomfort. Measure your foot to determine the correct size. If you plan to select your bindings and boots based on your shoe size, it's advisable to consider opting for a wakeboard binding and boots that are half a size smaller. Some riders utilise heat-mouldable liners to achieve a better fit for the boots.
