ok so i just bought a new watson 143. i am currently riding a 2008 Transcend with watson boots. I would really like to buy a new pair of bindings but money is kinda tight due to a newborn at home. What kind of bindings would you suggest and cheapest place to buy?

sorry an 05 transcend. I don't think that my bindings will fit this new board. but ole well guess it is time for a complete upgrade.

These would probably be like the watsons stiffness wise and they're only $100

Thanks Brian, I like the looks of that boot. Anyone ever rode these to know how close the sizes are? I wear a 12 but only available in a 11. just wondering if I might be able to stretch them alittle. I really like the price.

they have heat moldable liners to help "stretch" them, but i think that even then they would be pretty dang tight. unfortunately size is a very subjective thing especially in footwear. but i thought the d2 boots were pretty close to size

ok so my new watson just came in and i realize that it has the six inch hole pattern for bindings, but my old 8 inch bindings do fit just don't allow for any adjustment. with this cause a problem or could i ride it this way for just a few days?
