2021 Hyperlite Wakeboard Binding - ULTRA Tech Talk

Rusty Malinoski Signature Footwear
Design and testing of Rusty Malinoski’s ULTRA Binding has been a multiyear process. The Ultra Binding is a light weight sleek design with an engineered mesh construction. It’s simple and supportive design is perfect for hard charging riders. Built atop our Fusion Plate System and incorporating Hyperlite’s new 3D Formed Heat Moldable Pro Liner, the Ultra has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The final binding we sent to the man himself elicited this response, “The best binding I’ve ridden, the support was right on, fit and finish are amazing and after I heat molded the liner it felt so comfy, I’m blown away.” Rusty tells it like it is, this is no BS.

What are the main differences between the Ultra and the TeamX?

The "Ultra"? Come on now the only Ultra bindings are the OG Ultra Suctions from LF. You gotta be more creative in your names HL...

Before they get mire creative with the name they should think about other stuff:
First of all the put the exact same laces on the bindings size 12 and on the one size 13-14 but the larger one uses one loop more for the laces. This results in the shoe tongue colliding with the laces way earlier when you step into them making it really hard to get in while the smaller boot is quite comfortable to step into.
The could have fixed this problem by putting longer laces on the bigger boots.
But my main problem is that these boots are just cheap manufactured for a premium price. After 1 hour on a cable and 2 sets (each 15 minutes) behind a boat the bindings completely ripped apart.
