The screw or the insert?

I've had it happen on Hyperlite and a liquid force but not CWB. If it's the insert call CWB.

Its happened to us before, but riding a hyperlite... We sent it back under warrenty... and they fixed it no problems... But on this particular board it kept happening... so good luck...

Superglue and ducttape always solves the problem.

That happened to a friend of mine who rides an absolute he was using LF screws and bindings, on his first run on his new board he got a pretty big jump and on landing both bindings came of the board, he was swimming about with both bindings still on his feet swimming about like a duck!! and the board about 8ft in front of him, those of us in the boat absolutely pissed ourselves laughing, he wasn't too impresseed.

LF bolts are shorter. Get some CWB, or any other brand that are longer. LF's insert holes are not as deep as CWB/Hyperlite so they give you shorter bolts. When you move them onto a CWB, they only bite 1 - 2 threads. This had happened to alot of people. Your best bet....Go buy some Zues'. Mine haven't ripped of my Absolute yet... :-)
