If you ride straps, boots will suck for the first month until you get used to them. If you're gonna try boots, you can't try them as a once off, it has to be a commitment, after that you won't want to go back.

Wakeboarding helps out decifering preference on boots vs. straps.. Boots keeps doubt out of the question when comming to loosing any kind of footing. That in return restricts your upwind ability and foot manuverablility. Boots are optimum for wakestyle all the way.

Other than the weight added by boots on a board, is great, that is why you need to be powered to go w/bindings.

cab sync is just an overrated strap. i have them and i hate them. i much prefer my LF luxury set - mainly the pads, but the straps are aight too.
can't make a strap into a binding. its either all in or nothing.
