Cheap wakeboard bindings?

[akorcovelos]

I'm looking for some cheap wakeboard bindings for the board I let all my friends use when they don't have their own board. I really don't want to spend $100+ on bindings for my loaner board. Anyone know someplace to get discount bindings? Seems even fleabay prices are stupid high for generic universal slip on bindings...

There are a couple of models on the iboats.com store for around $75 or you could get this for about $70 - http://www.the-house.com/wkbgafl068zz-gator-wakeboard-bindings.html. Just make sure they'll mount OK with your board.

Those don't look too bad at $70. Why would they not mount to my board? Its just a Hydroslide Black Widow, pretty generic I though.

Has to do with the width of the binding plates and what width the holes in the board are. Most all bindings come with 6" plates now, but a few years ago a lot of them were 8". If you do find yourself with bindings that are a different width than the holes in the board, usually that just meas you can't use all variations of the placement on the board (meaning the extreme settings won't work because of the differences). But they do make adapters for this purpose as well if you need them which allows you to use all settings even if the two are different.

OK, got it. I'll measure the board's holes, but the bindings wouldn't be at the extremes anyway. Thanks.
