Hey Fozzy

Dont forget if the bindings have a Larger solid foot surface area that will affect the flex characterisics of any board unless purpose built for it, effectively changing the rocker line and handling. One of the 'many' reasons why wakeboards have more.

Found a site today with good explanations that will help you make a more informed choice before shelling out.

clik kiteboards, read all - hope this helps you in the right direction

cheers

Hey STW,

The board I am looking at is designed to accomodate bindings so flex pattern should be all good. Good link nonetheless. Made for some interesting reading.

And to the person who gave a thumbs down for simply posting a question....are you serious.

Cheers,

Fozzy

oh to answer your question, you should go do a search on kitescoop there is tons of information there for you as well.

Gday, It depends really, there are pros and cons for both. I used to ride a 128 recoil comp with bindings, Now I ride a 133 recoil with bindings and am loving it. I find landing tricks to blind alot easier with the bigger board, but on the down side anything like an s-bend is slightly harder. In the strong wind
(like today!!!20+knots!!!) with my 133 i can hold my edge just as good as a 128, and in the lite wind it's better cos I can get going heaps sooner wich means more riding time!!! So I'd reccomend getting the bigger board.

and if you ride a bow at the same time you can be a cross dressing bow sexual

kite shoes have been done, i would never put my ankles at risk like that

type in "NSI sandal binding" that is pretty much what they are. a sandal binding without the heel strap. I saw some protoype pictures of some being made for Aaron hadlow at the same place i get bindings made. might be ok for the average joe, but its no wakestyle binding, no one could ever take you seriously in a pair of those.

hahahahahahaha jandles

So I guess if these new "jandal" bindings are too much for you we can truly say "You jus' can't handle the jandal cuz ow"

wtf get a haircut

From the pre production samples ive seen sadly i would say yes. Although it's not like straps are really any better hahaha.

another year of being behind the eight ball..
