Well Wifey started to kick ass on a wakeboard this season and progressing so much, it was time to get her off her dinosaur (2001 Hyperlite drifter) onto something a little more her...Her birthday is Aug 18th but I thought she could use this by this weekend... I suck at holding out on suprises

Was it you or her who set that board up with the bindings on the wrong way?

(it's an asymmetrical board, turn those bindings around)

nice looking setup guys!

(deafgoose) · (deafgoose) **Join Date: Jul 2008** 08-01-2008, 6:38 PM

Yeah I slapped them on real quick for a pics and noticed when I was cropping the pic. Good eyes! :-)

those bindings are on the right way for me!! Don't forget some of us are a little goofy!!

(extremeisaac) · (extremeisaac) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 08-02-2008, 10:47 AM

Pete, I think the problem is the rear foot is angled out and the front is straight 0. I think its either both feet are ducked out or the front is angled out a little

You guys are missing the point! That board has a different toeside edge than heelside edge. The fins on one side are deeper than the other side also. Ignore the graphics completely (it doesnt matter if you're goofy or regular) and make sure that your toeside edge is the side with the deeper fins and flatter edge. It frustrated me that whoever sold you the board didnt explain this, probably 50% of the asymmetrical boards ive seen have the bindings set up the wrong way around!

Does anyone know where i can get a decent pair of ladies board shorts at price the won't rip through my already anorexic wallet?

(goldilocks) · (goldilocks) **Join Date: Mar 2008** 08-02-2008, 6:16 PM

Keith: I went to evogear.com and got a few pairs of board shorts for about twenty bucks each. They were on sale, but you may be able to find a few more deals on that site. good luck.

Killerdana, you can get some good deals in the clearance section

love evogear.com, Thats where I got the bindings. Also, Costco has Hurley Board shorts for chicks for 9.99 they happen to match the new board and bindings so she was stoked..check out costco, they also got a bunch of Oneill shorts in too

(extremeisaac) · (extremeisaac) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 08-02-2008, 7:56 PM

(razzman) · (razzman) **Join Date: Dec 2006** 08-03-2008, 7:11 AM

Yeah i love that pic. She kills me because she never quits, she wants to do it all and at 49 when most people are saying i'd better slow down now, she just keeps tearing it up! Of course she does complain about the muscles now and then! LOL!

ggrrrr... just got back from the lake and the mrs hates the board!!! said it rides to much on top of the water and it feels too loose. One of the hinges on the bindings kept unhinging too... time to demo some boards and call CWB in the morning about the bindings coming loose while riding... HOWEVER she did ride my Transcend Platinum and loved that board... I wonder if there are any women boards that ride like the Transcend platinum??

(dizzyg) · (dizzyg) **Join Date: May 2005** 08-06-2008, 9:05 AM

my wife has the LF Jett, same shape as the witness. It's really really loose without fins and still loose enough with them. I liked riding it although it's a little small for me. Might be worth a demo, it's not all pink and girly either.

(pri3st) · (pri3st) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 08-06-2008, 9:56 AM

No offense, but don't you think she should try & get used to the board? Ride it for more than a couple of minutes. Maybe she liked the Transcend because it's bigger & more stable.

Surprised the wife with this one last week.

She loved it.. first charge at the wake shocked her a bit.. more pop than her LF Diva!

Of course, she loves all the sparklies, snake skin top and pink trim and rhinestones on the bindngs.! Upload

nice guys.

hey razz, where's you buy that vest? my wife has the same setup except she's got the 08 black embers with the fur. :-)

(beachbum22) · (beachbum22) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 08-06-2008, 1:27 PM

Razz and Bruce - just wondering, how do your wives like the new Embers?

(razzman) · (razzman) **Join Date: Dec 2006** 08-06-2008, 2:22 PM

Bruce; I picked up the vest from Wakeside, and thet're having a 20% sale right now too!

Melissa; My wife's are the '07 Embers which are the same as the Men's Factions. She absolutely loves them, they hold well and are easy to get into for her. You can get the '07 models dirt cheap right now too!
