Wake / Kite Binding Stance: When mounting your bindings on a wake or kiteboard, it is important to start off with a wider stance when learning, and then adjust it once you are more comfortable on the board. The wider stance gives you more stability and most people will always ride with their feet angled outward, also known as a duck stance.
If you feel pressure on either or both knees, or on the outside of your feet, the chances are your feet are parallel or straight on the board and you need to angle them outward a little more.
Try wakeboarding or kiteboarding with several different stances to find out what works best for you.
How is a kiteboard different from a wakeboard? Wakeboarding is a great way to keep up with your skills when there is not enough wind for kiteboarding. Your skills are already honed for wakeboarding and you will have no trouble getting up and moving.
Kiteboards may look the same but they are very different from one another. A kiteboard has a concave bottom unlike the convex bottom of a wake board. Kiteboarders constantly ride on the edge of their board a lot like a snowboarder carving down a slope. The concave bottom helps kiteboarders to cut into the water holding a better edge, and helping them to stay upwind and are also designed to handle waves.
Wakeboards are designed to be thrusted off the tail, riding behind a a boat or cable e at higher speeds and typically on flat water. They are typically heavier due to the bindings but act as a counter weight aiding rotation speed in the quick jumps off a boat /cable wake. Their stiffness and rocker are designed for hard landings.
For beginners a wakeboard with a lot of rocker will feel loose, but it will teach you how to edge correctly rather than relying heavily on fins. In contrast, less rocker allows wakeboards to move faster, hook up better and become more aggressive. The wakeboard rider can be more aggressive with his turns and really edge hard through the wake.
If you’re the type of wakeboard / kiteboarder who loves to turn fast, go big and land out in the flats but you ride a bigger, steeper wake, try to find wakeboards with medium rocker. The slower, smoother and more wake-to-wake your style is, the more rocker you need in your wakeboards.

DescriptionThe Hyperlite Blur 2011 Womens Wakeboard is a free style shape that releases easily off the wake while not sacrificing any of the pop in a 3-stage rocker line.
The Hyperlite Blur features a thinner overall profile for maximum weight reduction and better flex. Still the board of choice for many of Hyperlite's It Girls the Blur's molded-in fins and cupped rails truly deliver a solid edge hold even on short approaches.
The concave footbed quickens your response time when transitioning from one edge to another and the reduced tip and tail weight make spinning a breeze. The board is constructed with Hyperlite's Satin Flex that responds more accurate to the pressures applied by female riders.
Features:
Concave Top Deck: Quickens your response time through the board when you need it without losing board speed in the process.
Subtle 3-Stage Rocker: The most progressive rocker line designed for a variety of riding styles and ability levels. The arc of this board is similar to that of the traditional 3-stage rocker, but with a much smaller flat spot. This gives the board more speed, but still allows it to snap abruptly off of the wake. Great for the intermediate through advanced rider looking to get to the next level.
Cupped Rails: Truly deliver a solid edge hold even on short approaches.
2 x Molded-In 0.8"
Poly A-Wing Fins:
Why go to 6"
Wakeboard Boot Plates?
* Riders can choose to use both inside and outside mounting locations on Strata track boards. Four additional Strata track t-nuts will be required.
You have 6”
binding plates and a wake or board with an 8” hole pattern.
Are they compatible?
