Numb foot??

Anybody have an idea why I get numbness in my rear foot? I have adjusted tightness of hyperlight split's, but still get it after about a 15min ride.

Is the toe end of the bindings too tight? I had some LF's that were doing the same and I placed an unopened soda can in the toe end, left it in the sun all day, dunked it in my pool and then took out the soda can. Doing that solved my issue. Hope that tip helps.

I used to have that problem when I was wearing Belmonts. I would crank them down really really tight and my foot would sometimes go numb, but you say you've loosened your bindings so maybe they are too narrow, or too small, for your feet.

Don't tighten them as much?

Thank's guy's, I'll try the can tip and see if it'll reshape, Maybe just a freak foot?

use a beer bottle it works better than a soda can

It could always be the other people in the boat messing with your bindings so you come back in the boat sooner and its closer to their turn.

AH, a beer bottle, Nice thinking. If it dosen't work I'll just drink untill whole body goes numb, and then I wont care about the foot!!!

Jesse,

Try adjusting your stance (the angle of your rear binding), you may want to duck it out a little bit.

Cool, Right now I have the rear just about square with the board. So I'll move it a couple notches.

Thank's Jake!

im thinking about using beer bottles to stretch out my bindings but would it be better to put the beer bottles in and soak them for 15 minutes in hot water and them take them out for another 15 minutes or would it be better to put the bottles in and let the bindings sit in the sun all day?

CWB Zeus Boots. You can flip open the hinge to let your foot rest while you wait for the boat.

Zeus, I'll check em out on the net, I changed my stance, it seemed to help some. Thank's for the info on the CWB's.

My old split bindings did that to me too. I fixed that problem though. Got me some '06 Torqs !!

My minx bindings do that too.

Hey to all wondering???? The beer bottle thing worked, at least for now, reshaped just enough to get a comf ride. Thank's for the heads-up!
