I heard from a couple of my friends, that CWB boards are GREAT, but the bindings arn't as good. My friend was about to start his run at a contest, when his hinge tech binding cable broke. He said he will never buy CWB bindings again. So keep your sphynx man.

"but the bindings aren't as good." Don't listen to a word of that. The Zeus were the top selling binding in the market. Your friend should have made sure everything was in working order before a contest. Thats what I do, and depending on how good he is, will determine that amount of abuse that he dishes out. You pull your feet in and out of bindings 3-5 times everytime you ride, things are going to wear. That's what warranty is for. CWB Bindings are some of the best in the business.

Joe that is a very good point, but those bindings all have those base plates like snowboard bindings, do the sphynx have those?

Joe... My Zeus' are ok, not as comfortable as my alphas but way more functional. I have only taken about 10 sets with them so maybe they will feel better in a couple of weeks.

Hopefully I'm not hijacking here, but I just got some parts from CWB to stiffen up the heel of my new factions (which I love) because the hinge pops open occasionally. The problem is I have to take the heel apart to install the new material and I can't get one of the mounting screws out. It looks like there is some blue lock tight on the one that I got out. Any suggestions on how to break the other one free. I've got a screwdriver that fits perfectly, I put some penetrating oil on it and pounding on it. No go.

Sweet looking board David, wait until you ride it, it will blow your mind, great great board. As far as CWB bindings go, give me a break wakeboarder 3922, CWB makes some of the best bindings on the market.

well I just got back from my weekend at the delta. The board rode pretty good. Definitely different than my substance. My first ride I left the fins on and the thing tracked like a porsche. Second run took the fins off and it was like a whole new board, definitely more comfortable since I rode my substance finless. The board imo had a little less pop than my substance but definitely landed softer, the board is faster also than the substance. Personally I normally ride around 23mph and 80', to stay at the same speed I had to lengthen the rope to 85' or I also tryed 80' at 22mph I'm not sure which I like better but this board definitely doesn't pop up as much as my sub it's more of out. this is a good board and I think I like giving up a little pop for a fairly faster board allowing me to ride at a little slower speed.
