It is the thing you pullon to tighten the laces and when you have em tight you let go & it retracks

www.gotriver.com has got some of them posted along with the Marius graphics. If you click on each board it will also show you some bindings that they offer as packages. Somebody else posted it in another link.

hmmm...i'm liking the marius platty graphics as much as i like this year's. (i covered it as much as i can w/ stickers)

the regular looks a lot better. it's too bad as i was hoping for a lighter board for '07.

Does the Transcend have different widths at the tip and tail? The black one with the golden dragon above looks like it does. Maybe it's just the camera angle.

(gdillyfunk69) · (gdillyfunk69) **Join Date: Nov 2003** 09-02-2006, 10:43 PM

nope same widths... very sic board though!!!

not saying anything but these two boards look similar.

(gdillyfunk69) · (gdillyfunk69) **Join Date: Nov 2003** 09-02-2006, 10:51 PM

I really see almost no resembalence at all between the two... yes there both wakeboards.... and yes there in an up-right possition and yes they have bindings on them.... but thats about where it stops..... without even seeing the bottoms I can tell the fins arent even configured the same

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-02-2006, 10:52 PM

i guess the diagonal split of part solid, part stripes aren't similar.

I guess my Zink is a rare board then since its not the one that they show. Mine is 141 with the 134 graphics on it

(ridetilldeath) · (ridetilldeath) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 09-03-2006, 4:18 PM

the absolute plat. looks almost identical to the '05 and '06. does anyone know if any major changes were made? not that im complaining because i love it, but if nothing major was changed, then i know i would just buy the '05 and '06's.

(scws) · (scws) **Join Date: Sep 2004** 09-03-2006, 7:47 PM

New top shape in the tip/tail to make it a bit stronger...

nice pics guys...

(stephan) · (stephan) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 09-03-2006, 9:24 PM

Sam, I thought the '06 rode different(better) from the '05. Maybe that was because I went from Foam to Platinum. The rails seemed thinner and there was a little extra cup in the rail. The top shape looks the same as last year which was new for '05. I don't know the specifics but if it didn't change at all it would be the first time for an Absolute to not change in like 6 years.

(lildave) · (lildave) **Join Date: Aug 2006** 09-04-2006, 1:35 AM

I wonder... will my board be worth my or less since it is basically a one of a kind board?
I know for sure it is a 2006 board with 2007 graphics on it. Obviously other then someone that really knows CWB boards it wont be noticeable though

(cbaird) · (cbaird) **Join Date: Apr 2005** 09-04-2006, 7:36 AM

The 06 absolute is the same as the 07, just new graphics - per CWB.

(stephan) · (stephan) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 09-04-2006, 8:17 AM

Worth more? Are you like a comic book trader or something? Ride it, trash it and enjoy doing it. Companies mix and match graphics all the time, it's not that big a deal.

Correction: In my above post I said the top shape was new for '05, I meant '06. Sorry.

(gdillyfunk69) · (gdillyfunk69) **Join Date: Nov 2003** 09-04-2006, 5:37 PM

wow im amazed there are all these CWB fanatics that are "in" with the companies and still no pictures of the zues bindings

(socalwakepunk) · (socalwakepunk) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 09-04-2006, 7:40 PM

Um, the first binding pictured on this thread is the new ('07) Zeus...

(stephan) · (stephan) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 09-04-2006, 7:58 PM

People that are in the "in" want to continue to stay on the "in" do as the company asks. If the boot is not finished they don't want it to be released so a bunch of speculative ish can be spread on something that might not even be there on the final product.

jeff, i think they're asking to see pics of the new lace system. the 1st pic doesn't show it at all.

will there be an 07 Flame? i LOVE my 06 141 and dont see how they could improve it or the graphics

(guido) · (guido) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 09-05-2006, 8:22 AM

Chris, they changed the name to the Kink. The graphics are killer, but they changed the tip/tail profile and it rides a bit different. It might be time to try the Absolute or the Transcend. I thought the new Kink was a killer looking board, but it's more of a beginner ride now with the new profile. Way forgiving, but less "edgy".

The new Zeus' are dope. For those that don't understand yet, you pull the plastic thing which tightens the laces, then you let go and the laces retract inside it and it goes into that holder on the side of the binding.

All of the new bindings have the articulated toes which make them soo much more comfortable. My personal preference: I love the Zeus and the Fuse, and I like the Deuce and Faction. They have very different flex patterns. If you want a flexible boot the Deuce or the Faction will give it to you. If you like the locked in feel, then the Fuse or the Zeus is for you.

The graphics on the Absolute platinum are soo dope. The green/yellow base is sick, as is the carbon top sheet. It's got a small "louis-vitton"-ish graphic on the base that looks sick.

The Faction board is going to look something like the one above, but it's going to be flat black and the graphics are going to be a inlaid foil like last years Pure. It's going to look great and it's got a few different innovations. Look for the release of that board a bit later in the year.

06 Zeus look better IMO...

from the 2007 zeus description:
"A longer toe rubber gives increased board response without looking like clown shoes."

(bill) · (bill) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-05-2006, 12:48 PM

dont get me wrong i like my CWB equipment ,however

im not a big fan of adding even more movable easy to break parts on bindings..

the new retractable lace thing is gonna have more warranty issues then even the BOA from Hype..

way to many movable springs and parts will break and have many issues..

i could be wrong but seems like they will have to send two sets of lace parts with every purchase as not to have wakeboarders miss valuable water time with a broken lace system...

(stephan) · (stephan) **Join Date: Nov 2002** 09-05-2006, 1:02 PM

Joe, someone makes clown shoes for wakeboarding? Sweetness.

Bill, lets not put the cart in front of the horse. CWB does their homework. Last year everyone said the Hinge was going to break real easy and it turns out the thing is incredibly durable. It's possible it is fragile but lets not jump to conclusions based on a single picture.

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-05-2006, 1:17 PM

come on stephan, you don't have to be a genius to know who cwb is referring to. don't get me wrong, i love cwb products and the company, but i think resorting to bashing is pretty lame. they have sick products...they'll speak for themselves. plus, they already have guys like you to bash other companies' products.

as for the hinge, sure, it's durable, but unfortunately, i've read in here over and over again that it comes undone while riding. that can't be good.

as for retractable laces, how tight is it going to retract the laces? there are those that like a tight fit, and if it doesn't retract tight enough, well....

Joe, from what I have seen, you pull the "cord" to tighten, almost like you are pulling on your laces in the traditional way, then you let go and the "cord" retracts into the binding like a lawnmower pull cord.

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-05-2006, 2:14 PM

cool, thanks mike. i'm curious to try out the new zeus. i thought the '06 zeus was good, but just wasn't good enough to replace what i was riding then. but, i'm always up for trying new bindings/boards.

mendo247 09-05-2006, 3:20 PM

personally, i dig the clown shoe look!

They are still working on the Zues'. Not quite done just yet. I have a pair, and the laces get plenty tight, and hinge hasn't come loose at all. Even if it ever does, all you have to do it TIGHTEN THE FRICKEN THING UP!!

People are quick to complain about their stuff without taking the time to see just how they can be fixed first.

Joe- didn't you get your CWB stuff for free?

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 09-06-2006, 7:11 AM

Are you serious with that crap Joe? Or are you just trying to get under Heavy's skin?

Most people have never experienced the hinge flipping open...including me.

"why do you ask?"

Because usually you support those who suport you.....otherwise the support can stop.

Nope...but I'm guessing that's what Brandon was referring to. And we're assuming Bates is reading your comments! Pure speculation!

You're not way off. It happens a lot on the first round Faction boots. Uncommon on the Zeus and Torque.

I've heard of the hinge cutting some people on landings where they sat down too much upon landing. This came first hand from the guy this happened too.

Jarrod is 100% right. The hinge would come loose.....sometimes on the first round Faction boots. But even then, you just needed to tighten them. It hasn't happened on the Zeus or the Torq.

Joe-I know exactly how and why you got your stuff, I just find it funny how you ended up selling them on ebay.

(scott_a) · (scott_a) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 09-06-2006, 9:48 AM

wow...get over yourselves. do you really need to talk publicly about getting gear for free? and what does it matter to any of you guys what someone else does with their free gear? im sure if someone was doing something they shouldnt (whether it be talking smack about the free product or selling it on ebay) im sure they'll be cut off...

and fyi- yesterday a customer brought her pair of torqs into my shop complaining about how the "metal piece on the heel" was too loose. as hard as it may be for you guys to realize this, not everyone wants to take the time to figure out the hing tech. not everyone rides flow bindings. not everyone knows their way around the garage as you or i might. and not everyone lives to wakeboard. many people just want something that works, and when it doesnt they take it back to where they bought it so they can get help and be on their way. now dont get me wrong, the lady is still way stoked on her bindings and everything, but lets keep things in perspective here...

(socalwakepunk) · (socalwakepunk) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 09-06-2006, 9:50 AM

It's one of those things that when free gear is scored, regardless of how/who/why, one should try to respect the players involved, keep the comments on the positive side. Riders who have been well taken care of by brand X,Y or Z, and other brand X,Y or Z peeps may feel a little dissed when someone gets taken care of, and then returns the favor not-so-much. It's a small industry, and word travels fast, might want to consider this, don't want to get shut down in general. Joe, you know we still good. Peace.
