I can now get my self out the water on a wakeboard and keep my self out it. The problem I have is I get very uncomfortable after about 30 seconds as my hip facing the back of the board begins 2 hurt as my body feels like it’s really having 2 twist 2 get the board 2 face forward,and even at that the board still doesn’t feel completely facing forward.
So I’m just wondering if I need 2 have both bindings facing more 2 the front or my legs further apart?or any other tips would be great.
Bit of info about me – goofy stance, I’m 6′4" about 14 stone and I’m 26,don’t know if any of that makes any difference but it might?
Cheers, Ewen
other than stance look at how you’re holding the handle. It should be by your front hip, not in the middle of your torso at your stomach. If you hold the handle more in front of your stomach that makes the board constantly want to rotate, which will put more stress on your body and you’ll need more hip action to keep yourself going in the direction you should.

I need new bindings because my feet are getting bigger
so will any brand bindings fit or do I have to get CWB brand bindings?
Yes, most bindings will fit. I hesitate to say all because there is always a chance that some off-brand exists or some really old models or something of that nature.

I am 20 years old, 6′ 1" and about 175lb, and have just started to get into wakeboarding after my girlfriend’s parents bought a new wakeboarding boat. I currently ride her board and it is clearly to small and I think I should get myself a board for next summer. I can clear the wake with a 180, and I have snowboarded for years so I think I should probably get an intermediate set-up, but I definitely don’t want to spend a whole ton. I don’t know really what to get for bindings or a board so I would like some opinions on what to get. Any help would be cool, but I would really like to hear more in depth and personal advice than I can find on most web sites. If there is an important info I left out or questions I would be happy to answer.
I’ll start out with size. At 175lbs, you fall in the 139-142 range. I personally think you should go with a 140 or 141 for a happy medium. Here is a buying guide for you with detailed information about wakeboards.

Here’s a couple of good deals on wakeboards with bindings:

Look at the Liquid Force PS3 and CWB Kink. The PS3 is more forgiving while the Kink is a little more advanced and is highly adjustable.

Usually it ranges from a 7-12, but depending on your boot you could probably stretch it to fit a 13. If you have to squeeze into them make sure you keep the boot some what loose because if you crash hard it could easily snap your ankle when it try’s to shoot you out of the board.

I have a 2008 Obrien Vision 140 board with the matching link bindings and i wanted to know if those bindings would fit on a 2009 Liquid Force Watson board.
Thanks
Yes, the bindings will definitely fit the Watson.

What happened to all of the old school Wakeboard Bindings that are just slip in, rubber, high wraps?!?!?! I’m a show skier and I need to get in and out of my binding really fast so I can’t be dealing with laces, velcro or straps. With all of the new "boot style" bindings out now, I figured there would be TONS of older bindings laying around, but they’re nowhere to be found!
I have looked all over and nobody has them. Every now and then a pair comes up on e-bay, but they’re usually small or mediums and I need XL.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!?!?!
try kite boarding bindings, they are more like the old school ones.

Will Hyperlite State bindings fit an O’brien System wakeboard? Are all bindings interchangable?
yes most have a system where you just screw em into the board.

I wear size 8 1/2 in women’s shoes. What size bindings are those?. (small/medium/large)
Also do all bindings fit on all wakeboards?
id say med binding, and as for all of them fitting the answer is no there are a few brands of bindings that do not fit some boards. wakeworld.com i think has a discussion on them
