Cabrinha Custom series for sure. But I don’t think it’s the weapon choice. You gotta go for real custom-made board if you like to get the performance in bindings. For example Dereck Camacho creates wakestyle kiteboard using different techs from producing freeride board.

True! (but I could be biased LOL)
Any board with 8" insert spacing can be used.

My boards have an 8" insert spacing for bindings
and my
'06 Hein Plates are compatible with that
spacing too. I have riders who switch
back and forth.
Many wake style riders (including me) are
going to larger boards with a nice wide
stance to handle ever harder landings.
Here's my personal all carbon 135x41

For wake style in full bindings I agree with the guys above - go larger than what you would for a strapped board. The extra length and width give you more pop and a larger surface to land on. The full boots give you more leverage on the larger deck so it all works out well.
Myself I ride a 132x39 in straps, but my full boot board is a 138x40 Decay Dagger:

And yes - all you need to be able to bolt them on is a 8" (203mm) insert spacing. Most guys seem to order a combo of strapped and boot insert patterns when looking at a full boot board - makes it easier to sell further down the track.
Cheers,
