Wakeboard Bindings

What Are Wakeboard Bindings?

Wakeboard bindings, also known as wakeboard boots, are the components that secure your feet to the wakeboard. They significantly impact your experience on the water, so choosing the right pair is crucial. When purchasing wakeboard boots, consider factors such as flex, size, and board compatibility.

What Wakeboard Bindings Should I Get?

Wakeboard bindings come in various flex levels and binding styles, and the ideal wakeboard boot depends on your riding style. Flex is a key feature to consider. Stiff wakeboard boots are ideal for riders seeking high ankle support, stability, and speed, while boots with a softer flex provide more mobility. Typically, beginner bindings are softer compared to those designed for advanced riders.

Binding style refers to the closure and lacing system. Boots can be open toe or closed toe, with options like velcro straps, BOA lacing systems, or rubber straps. The choice of lacing system is a matter of personal preference. Open boots are more flexible and offer greater breathability, whereas closed boots provide a snugger fit for enhanced control and leverage on the board.

What Size of Wakeboard Bindings Do I Need?

Your boots should fit snugly with no heel lift, but not so tight that they cause discomfort. Measure your foot to determine the correct size. If you base your binding and boot selection on your shoe size, it is recommended to go down ½ a size for wakeboard bindings and boots. Some riders opt for heat-moldable liners to achieve an even better fit.
