Choosing the correct wake board bindings.

James Horton
It's A Bind!

Don’t let incorrect wake board bindings get in your way. They can cause you untold misery if they are too tight or reduce control over the board if they are too loose. Simply, wakeboarding bindings need to fit properly to give the wake boarder the best possible ride.

SIZING ISSUES

Most bindings are listed with US sizing. US sizing is approximately one size smaller for men and two sizes smaller for women when compared to UK sizing.

As an example a US men’s size 10 is best compared to a UK size 9, and a woman’s size 7 binding would best be compared against a UK size 5. Some brands even offer half sizes to complicate things even further.
