First of all I have to say "excuse my english", folks. Now that:
"Dr. Watson" mistake stood to Windows NT4 times long for a failure of the operating system. LF Watson this year stands probably also for a complete failure. At least if one refers to Limited Watson Binding of 2009.
In the late spring of this season I bought this really light, innovative and bombproof seated Binding for the bargain price from "only" 450 euros. However, test runs and verbal assessment confirmed me to have a top Binding at the feet.
Far from it. On the 4th weekend of use at the Cable (Not 4-week long-term application, only 4x2 days). It came to an end . Tear of the first flap with the laces, all the other flaps further on top strongly worn through.
This cannot be, so the Binding was sent in to LF. Besides, it positions itself on the edge out, this is a known mistake, all LTD 2009 have this. Arrrrhm, thanks that I knew this before … After more than 4 weeks I got a Binding back which now had 2 flaps from black belt material which were put really unprofessional with exactly 2 thin seams to the place of the originals.
I held these seams for ornamental seams which hold only the plastic designs, but these have really been the weight-bearing seams … This held exactly one weekend – virtually approx. 12 times Binding close, until I then had to go to the shoemaker.
This put then a cross seam which created, finally, rest. For it I have had more than 4 weeks in the middle of the season with no Bindings? Unfathomably LF! I stick: I do not tear like a lunatic to my laces! I use this "quite normally" – really!
Time jump 3 weeks further. What then is this? In the heel of the left foot the seam which connects the soles with the shoe part of the Binding frees itself. Hmmm. Are these seams now a show, or are these used? Again to the shoemaker. Again 3 days wait.
Completely, besides, the white plastic / imitation leather stuff breaks of course at exactly every place where movement gets in the Binding. Of course.
After return of the shoemaker it lasted again approx. 3 weeks, until I discovered water in both air cushions of the sole. This superlight shoes now weighed just 300 g more, or in such a way …
Riding yesterday, I made a short coffee break. Now almost by chance I discover a not more understandable hammer:
Both shoes of my Binding free themselves of the sole part. Both seams have burst, and the shoes can be lifted with the heels „so just“ from the sole. COMPLETELY! Hello? This is extremely dangerous!
How please can 450 euro Bindings break up in the course of half a year or three quarters a season COMPLETELY? How bad can a quality be? I mean, we do not talk here about Aldi stuff, we talk about the flagship from Liquid Force THE leading manufacturer of Wakestuff.
I never had a Binding which was broken so quick and often. And also if I have never experienced that this can be heard from all possible corners also by other LF Watson LTD to owners. And I never was so fed up about the standard arguments all around manufacturers and material.
And honestly: The often heard argument „… we can make nothing, because the whole Wake equipment is made for Boat boarder“ stops for me at the very latest with completely freing shoes completely!
For me Liquid Force is history. After all experienced I cannot even write any more „unfortunately does“. I can only pray that my shoemaker hero can cause a rescue on Monday anyhow. The season goes, finally, still till December …
THIS simply had to go out!
