Bindings on a Naish Momentum

[Luke Palin]

Hi,

I'm looking to fit bindings to my 2010 Naish Momentum (134). Does anyone know which brand of bindings will fit without the need of drilling extra holes etc?

Cheers,

Luke.

Measure the plate spread. Its either 6" or 6.5", then go to your Local Liquid Force shop and buy some boots!

Or Maybe Ronyx bindings could feat aswell

pretty much all kiteboards these days are a 6" spread. if that's the case, any liquid force wake boots will fit, any liquid force kite boots will fit (provided they are 2010 or newer) and most other brand boots (i.e. ronix) will fit too.

you will probably rip your inserts out.

Any boot with 6" will do. Don't get the 2009 LF Kiteboots as they are 6.5" for some reason. Don't worry about inserts ripping, the Momentum is made for boots and will hold up just as good as any other board made for wakestyle. Just make sure the screws are tightened properly.


Here's a link to an overview of boots and their spacings

Oh, I forgot, it will work with 7" and maybe 8" too. What happens with wider spacings though is that you lose stance adjustment options. I use Ronix which makes extremely light and nice boots but I think the new LF is gonna be really light too.

the question about the inserts is a good one. a lot of boards "made for boots" are still made with single inserts. I'm not going to name brands, but i've seen several wakestyle boards pull their inserts out from people riding them with boots.

the key is if the board has one insert block (with 4 screw holes) or 4 insert blocks (with 1 screw hole each) per side. if it's got one insert per hole, it will take a lot less force to pull them out.

if you look closely at the momentum (or ask the folks at naish) they can tell you....then you'll know if you're gonna pull your inserts out or not. i know lf uses insert blocks and cab went to insert blocks for 2011 for that exact reason.

[sourra]

That's true. And if you crash hard enough, you will rip any insert. It's even possible to do with straps. So when you ride with boots, skip the kiteloops and such.
