evening all .
thought i would try the whole boot thing on my TT. But having a little problem fitting.
seems like the boots are -
6" space between boots screws - 2012 LF 4" space between inserts on board - 2011 NAISH HAZE 141x41
WTF ??where's the problem lay ? In the boots or the the board ?
Im paying off a new board now, but will i have this problem again ?i know , i know… take the board to the shop and measure / check. but i want a quick answer NOW !!
any help ??
thanks to for any replies to another stupid question !!
The boards
All boots come with 6 inch spacing
All good wake style boards come with 6 inch spacing, Airush Livewire, Tona Pop
If a board doesnt come with 6inch spacing its probably done so people dont put boots on it because boots will probably break it. From my experiance id recomend to stick with wakestyle boards with boots, the others just cant handle them.
Naish used to have smaller spacing, up until I think your board I think. Also I wouldn't recommend putting boots on that board at all really. Its a specific beginner/freeride board really. You need to look towards any boards from the last couple of years that are made for Wakestyle/freestyle. They will all have 6inch spacing. All the new Naish boards have that spacing.
Anyway, if you are looking at getting into boot riding, I suggest you try get a new board more suited to that riding style. Have a look in the buy&sell section for something 2nd hand if you are on a budget, or go down to the local and they will sort you out!
You could make up a spacer plate with some stainless steel sheet metal if you have the tools.
Counter sink the sheet metal into the boards 4"hole pattern, and then counter sink other screws from the underneath side for the new 6"spacing.
Put a bit of thin rubber between it and the board to prevent scratching!
Wallah!!!
