Seaching some info on union bindings and how they ride and feel ect?
i've been kiting this season only, and i'm really getting into the wakestyle moves so i want to step up to bindings, just my personal preferance...
I've been seaching the internet, and decided that I want some unions so if anyone has any lying around they want to get rid of let me know. I'm an 11-12 US. will pay for postage from over east.
thanks

unions are good bindings, nice and soft with plenty of movement. they are easy to get in and out of as well, and there are no laces to worry about.
look for LF ultras as well; they are almost the same boot as unions, but with an extra wrap that you can take off to make them easier to get in and out of for kiting.
what board are you putting them onto?

Not sure what board yet, my current board (sx 122) will not take bindings because its too small so i will have to get a new board, open to suggestions, looking for around 130-140.

make sure you get a board that can take bindings, ie with the extra wide threaded inserts and you need a board with a flat deck so the binding plate will sit properly.
you need a bit bigger board than you would normally ride with straps
it looks like you are a wakeboarder from your avatar; try your wakeboard with the kite before you buy another kiteboard and bindings

unions are SICK.. ive just started riding them a few days ago n i cant get over them!... very comfortable, you still have a bit of movement so ur not fully locked in so tweakin out n shyt is still good. easy in and out, very good hold, and they not really super heavy so its awsome!
as for boards.. i got a 135 concept from LF and i think its probably one of the best boards with boots ive ever ridden. its got a flatter rocker line than the mission etc so its alot faster and you get planing earlier etc. mint pop, very good grip in landings etc. the 135 concept with boots is sucha mint set up. where do you ride?

yea i ride a concpet 135 with liquid force ultras, wicked board not only looks sick, but is relli good for wakestyle. it might take you a while to get use to getting into and out of the bindings, but once you can do that, they are awsome. oh and plus dont go any smaller than about a 128 board if u goin bindings, otherwize they will catch the water when u edge and makes it hard to go upwind.
