Not that anyone really cares, lol, but I head home from Iraq in one week after 9 months here. 7 days from taking my first ride of the year!! Yes I am pumped.

My wife has our '05 Tige 22i in the water, I have my brand new O'Brien Natural with CWB Zeus bindings waiting in the garage, and I will be riding the day I get back, rain or shine.

Thats all, I will now return you to your regularly scheduled program

The boat...

Thanks Joe. I am not a Soldier anymore, but it still feels Great to come home.

BTW...I bought 2 DVD's with me when I came over, the movie '300' and The Chick Flick! The Iraqis I work with LOVED your movie. I wore the grooves off that CD dude, Thanks!

Cool deal Sean. You need to bring everyone back with you in 7 days. Glad to hear another soldier and fellow wakeboarder returns home safe.

Welcome back! I'm happy for you and your family, and wish everybody to come home safe. Thanks for your service!

Thanks guys, who wants that Bad Ass O'Brien Evil Twin Board?

Don't be shy, you know you want it!! It has the really low rubber wrap bindings, very sweet.

I ride the same setup, great boots and board! Looks like a sweet setup, but for the love of god, let that rope out a little!!! :-)

And of course, thank you for your service!

Tony, have your Zeus' broken in any? I rode them twice late last year and love them but they were so stiff. I am hoping they loosen a tad.

And that rope is at 65' I think, give a guy a break, I am old and a still a novice, lol.....

(guitsboy) · (guitsboy) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 07-12-2008, 7:14 AM

They loosened up a little, but not too much. I like a very locked in feel though. Theyre getting more comfy every time out. I noticed you really dont have to lace them ultra tight to keep a locked in feel. FWIW, things will break and come undone on these bindings. CWB support is the best in teh industry and will keep you hooked up. But if possible have a spare pair of bindings on hand so it dosnt ruin your weekend.

Dont worry, Im old too. And its nice to see another big boy on an obrien natty.
