Hello! I just bought my first pair of closed toe wakeboard bindings. I ended up buying the Liquid Force Classic 6X 2025 in a size 6-8. I wear a women’s 7.5-8 in my normal shoes so that size should be perfectly fine.

I got them in the mail today and after putting them on, they seem very small. My big toe is touching the end of the boot. Is this normal for new bindings? Will they loosen/expand once used or do bindings run small? The next size up is a 8-9 in the bindings which would translate to a women’s 9.5-10.5.

I am very new to wakeboarding so any tips/advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm adding W701 bags to the factory aft tanks in my 05 X2. Will the plumbing work this way? TIA

So I want to start progressing more, because I kinda got stuck with fear last year trying a tantrum and knee kicking my eyebrow wide open

I thought about a 360 from the kicker, but I wonder which is easier, the backside or frontside

On the slider and water I just go backside, because when I was learning I was very uncomfy with being in switch and rotating into switch and then into the back from it felt weird to me (I ride goofy). But as I tried frontside just like at home on the ground trying the movement it seems like it is easier to pass the handle and in the sky it might not have the problems I have with turning into back from switch for me

Do you think I should just try pushing with the backside 360 or slowly try the frontside on water and then slider and try that for the kicker?

I grew up on an inboard/outboard w a tower and really enjoyed wakeboarding and wake skating. Have only wakesurfed once on a buddies boat it was cool. We’re finally ready for a boat here in Tennessee. I for some reason always liked malibu and plan to look at this boat Friday w a lake test. Any advice or thoughts as a first inboard purchase? Or is this too much boat? He will take 47 for boat and trailer (had listed for 50 dropped over time from 62). 330 hours or so. Needs sun pad reupholstered I got quoted 650. Also he has service records. Thanks for any advice!
