My father in law saw my setup this weekend and asked me if companies were still strict on using matching bindings and boards. I am riding Obrien bindings on a CWB board. Does that void the warranty on either? I would think not, but I don't know.

nope....pretty much the only thing that voids it is rails

nah, rails will kill the warranty thought like nick said! one slider= warranty out the window lol

rails and handle inpact both CWB and hyperlite void warrenty instantly with handle inpact to the board

KIA cars have a great warranty too, but that doesn't mean I would be caught dead driving one. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

I know that it does void it on CWB and more then one other company but how are they going to know what bindings were on it.

ride900....what are you talking about?

j-rOD, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? you ride the Kia of wakeboards....haha here we go, I'll admit it, I'm a CWB hater, just have had nuthin but bad experiences with them ( incl. but not limited to inserts pulled, delams,snaps, and everyones fav., the Hinge enema)

I had Hyperlite deny warranty on a board a few years back that broke due to bindings being Liquid Force.....

J-Rod, <BR> <BR>you rock a kia!

The safest way is to make sure by calling your dealer or the manufacturer.

hahah...i was just taking a stab at my brotha Andy. <BR> <BR>"I had Hyperlite deny warranty on a board a few years back that broke due to bindings being Liquid Force..... " <BR> <BR>No shiat???? That's rediculous.

Tickle - Really?? I had Hyperlite replace a 6 year old board with a brand new pro model because the inserts ripped out. Their customer service is awesome in my experiences.

^^^I second that. They warrantied a 2 year old board of mine, no questions asked

"the hinge enema"... ouch, that don't sound good!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/blush.gif" border=0>

I ripped the inserts out of a hyperlite roam and the shop told me they would not warranty it because it was more than a year old.

Tickle, <BR> <BR>This is Corey from customer service at Hyperlite, I am not sure who or why the board was denied for warranty, but it shouldn't have been denied for LF bindings. You should call me up and I will take care of you. 800-938-4646. Thanks.

BTW, I cant warranty the roam I don't think. Roam warranty is one year. So i can only warranty 07 and 08 roams right now. Sorry about that.

I can tell you that most boards warranty are void if you don't have their bindings on them. I know this for a fact, But like I said how are they gonna know. It's just what it states in their papers. That's what the question was and I have been told that is the answer.

J-Rods new WHIP! <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Yeah its a 95'! <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/625673.jpg" alt="Upload">

CWB warr rocks! never had a problem.. As for LF their warr is great, I use it every year.. almost never made it a whole season with their bindings? <BR>Stupid, I guess I keep buying them? <BR>G

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA... <BR> <BR>Let me clear something up... I was evidently typing faster than I was thinking.... I had a LF board denied due to using Hyperlite bindings... I asked how they knew.... I was riding the Byerly bindings w/ the claw set-up.... My mistake.... <BR> <BR>Corey, thanks for chiming in.... I cannot complain about Hyperlite at all.. For the most part a life-time warr... LF on the other hand seems to be a year only...I like their bindings better, but they do not last like some others..... <BR> <BR>Josh
