How-To: Buy the Best Wakeboard Boots and Bindings
There are a few things to consider when choosing Wakeboard Bindings. Wakeboard Bindings vary in flex, closure systems, and the way they attach to your Wakeboard. Keep in mind that there is no perfect, one-size-fits-all wakeboard binding. But getting the right wakeboard binding can vastly improve your abilities and skill levels quickly.
Before you consider purchasing a wakeboard binding (it can be a pricey investment), take time to familiarize yourself with what types of wakeboard bindings are out there and some of the terminology.
Flex:
Similar to Snowboard Boots, the stiffer your wakeboard boots are, the better speed and carving you get. The softer they are, the more maneuverability you’ll have for tricks. It really depends on your personal preference. Stiffer boots also give you more ankle support while you’re riding, while softer boots give you the ability to tweak your wakeboard while you’re landing tricks.
Wakeboard Binding Style:
For the best fit, its often wise to buy your own set of bindings even if you do share a wakeboard. Unlike snowboards, they are much easier to swap out on the boat between rides.
Open-Toe – Open-toe boots give your toes some breathing room and you’re able to stretch out a few more shoe sizes than a closed-toe boot can. They’re best for kids who are still growing or if you just plan on having a single board for your boat.
Closed-Toe – Closed-toe boots give you a more precise fit and therefore more control, leverage, and quicker heel to toe response. They can also keep your feet warmer which can be an issue if you plan on riding in colder climates.
System Bindings – System bindings are similar to Snowboard Bindings. With highback frames and ratchet straps across the ankles and toes, system bindings take a custom design boot and allows riders to further customize fit and engage the entire leg instead of the heel and toes.
Closure Systems:
Boa Lacing System – The Boa System is similar to the ones you find on snowboard boots. They are incredibly quick to tighten up and you don’t have to spend your time lacing up your boots.
Hinges – Hinges allow for an easy entry and exit from your boots. The hinge is located on the heel of the boot allows you to open it and flip a lever rather than entering through a narrow opening at the ankle.
Laces and Fasteners – the most common and efficient system
Velcro Straps – Another common and efficient system that doesn’t require tying any laces.
