Beginner - Recreational Stance for Wakeboard Binding Set-Up

Beginner Wakeboarding Binding Set-Up

Beginner Wakeboarding Binding Set-Up

This stance is good for learning deepwater starts, forward riding, turning and carving, and basic jumps and hops. The rear binding needs to go fairly far back on the board so that most of the rider's weight will press on the rear fin, making the board easier to control and navigate.

Back Binding - Zero degrees at the backmost position on the board.

Front Binding - Pointing towards the front of the board at a 15 - 27 degree angle (2-3 holes from the center of the binding plate). Place at a natural distance from the rear binding.
