why doesnt every board have a infinite stance option strip?
why arent there bindings with flexible plates to avoid deadspots in flex?
Why aren't all boards built with top of the line cores?
I don't see why features like these are being implemented. I can't see any reason that hyperlite's (but really burton's lol) strata strip shouldn't be put into every board on the market. Thats a feature that really appeals to me, and i am bummed its reserved for the 700 dollar nova core boards from 1 company, and the other company that has used it, ss doesnt even have it on its entire lineup.
EMS bindings in snowboarding were really really dope. and ik this is the second burton innovation i want to see brought to wakeboarding but still i think its a really important idea. When you have a binding with a hard baseplate......as all wake bindings do......you make it so the board underneath ur binding is stiff. Burton started making bindings without stiff baseplates, to allow the entire snowboard to flex without dead spots. WHY HASNT ANYONE MADE WAKE BINDINGS LIKE THIS
Ittd be awesome to buy a phoenix project s and feel the entire board flex, not just the nose/tail out past the bindings
and i feel like riders are constantly being ripped off by the "top of the line core" boards. Is it really that much better/more expensive? Someone with knowledge please share.
Bottom line im frustrated that there are features i could think of that havent been implemented yet and i take that as a sign of slow innovation in the industry. All these flexboards/hybrids/baseless plates have been cool. But i think we as riders should ask for more
like changing shapes every year, not every 2 years.
