REDMOND, WA - O’Brien International has released the new, Force-L lace up water ski binding that provides exceptional fit, comfort and support. The Force-L binding is now available at O’Brien dealers worldwide.

The Force-L binding was designed as a user-friendly version of the popular, high performance Force binding. The lace entry system on the Force-L allows skiers to get in and out of the binding quickly, and the pull system conforms and secures easily. New, lightweight MPR material molds a cuff around the binding to provide lateral stiffness and enhance performance. "The Force-L was designed to appeal to skiers that want a comfortable, easy to use binding, and to those who prefer a slightly softer binding than the Force," remarks Water Ski Product Manager Jennifer Curd.

The Force-L binding is offered in front and rear boots, sizes XS-XXL.

Based in Redmond, Washington, O’Brien International, a member of the EOS group, is the world’s largest supplier of top quality watersports equipment.
