Product Description D2 Wakeboard Bindings:
Slingshot wakeboard bindigs are designed and developed to put the rider in the most naturally athletic stance and to take wakeboarding to another level. Like every sport this starting place puts your weight on the balls of your feet. From that point you initiate heel pressure or toe pressure. As simple and as natural as it sounds wakeboarding has drifted away from this concept. The reason for the divergence is the heel hold, the use of compromising materials and inferior design. The reality is nothing's going to work if your heel isn't locked down. Binding developers of the past thought they had solved this problem and the problem of squirting out of the toes by building toe ramps. This in effect lowered your heel below the ball of your foot resulting in the most non athletic and unnatural position imaginable. Don't take our word for it; try surfing, skating or snowboarding in this position. It's very difficult, uncomfortable and unnatural.
Slingshot shares the same functional holy grail of heel hold but the key is to put the rider into the most athletic and aggressive riding position. The ultimate solution was the closed toe boot.
We are proud to introduce the D2 stiff men's wakeboard binding. The D2 is our stiff wakeboard boot that offers an integrated boot and 4-hole binding system. New for 08 the D2 also comes with a Transition Plate to allow the rider to use the D2 boot with older style boards with 8" 2-hole configurations.
If a stiff feeling boot isn't your style try the softer Slingshot PB Floyd wake boot. The PB Floyd shares the same benefits of heel hold, overall comfort and natural rider positioning as the D2 but in softer package for more of a skate-like quality.

D2 Zonal Speed Lacing: upper and lower lacing built into one lace system.
