My Comments:
I just got a new pair of the North/Ronix wake boots on my gambler, and they are awesome.
The gambler combo with the North boots is super light and the boots relatively stiff.
this combo feels great to ride within the first few minutes - not like some boards and boots that take over a week just to get used to.

The board has the ability to get your stance really wide, which makes it easier landing your tricks, and also helps with style.

It is also super easy to get big pop outta the stiff board.

Overall i recommend the board and boots from north :)

North wake boots? surely you mean Ronix boots? and which, trying to hunt down some cheap 2011 One's or alternatively some LF Vantages.

EDIT - Found out North teamed up with Ronix to create a set of wake bindings called North Frank's.

Kiteboard boots .......... Invented by north
Hasn't come up on their site yet.

I ride ronix ones, very similar boots awesome ride.
Only thing better between ronix franks and north franks are the colours, I'm not a fan of bright fluro orange boots

I've got 2011 Franks ATM and I love them. I heat moulded my liners for a better fit as I had a couple of tight spots, now they fit like a glove.

Are the Norths running the intuition liners?

i believe they are yes. the tag told me to heat them up so i only assume they are the same thing.
