Bindings

From About.com

Definition: Means in which the water-skier or wakeboarder mounts their feet on the water ski or wakeboard. Bindings are made of rubber, neoprene, or hardshell material. Bindings may be adjusted on a ski by moving them backwards or forwards. Bindings may be adjusted on a wakeboard by moving them in different angles.

There are different options for bindings on a ski. They can be hard-shell bindings, double high-wraps, a front high-wrap with a rear toe plate, or two adjustable bindings.

When worn, bindings should feel snug to the feet.

Determine which foot goes forward on a ski or wakeboard.

Pronunciation: 'bIn-di[ng]
