Guest vigilante76 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Heya! I'm new around here... been watching for over a year but never posted... anyway, I've got a question for you...My friend gave me his old Freesurf Mustang (150cm!!) board w/ seabright bindings... I'm 183cm and 180lbs. Worst boarding day ever... I dont want to abandon the idea of carving so I just bought a F2 Speedster...but I'm wondering if the Seabright bindings would be any good on this? Or if they're good at all? I'm a student so I don't really wanna shell out more money. Let me know what you think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdea Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 missing in those pics? they look old, IMHO you'd be better off coughing up $80-100 for a pair of catek world cups or TD1s also snowpros are alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 they look squal specific, looks like there is no center plate look at the other binding on that site some are specific to to squals good choice on the speedster though, good wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Seabright was a french company that was the big competition to Emery in the early 90's.. There was a model for skwal and one for snowboard. They were often used by Freesurf for rental packs. In Hard Attack, seabright provided the bindings for Antonin...he apparently did not suffer from broken bails, but i wouldn't use them bindings today for carving...steel of bails is too weak.

Guest vigilante76 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yep those are the snowboard version with the plate...thanks for the answer guys... I'll see if I can find a pair of bombers somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealely Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 but i wouldn't use them bindings today for carving...steel of bails is too weak. Hey Vigilante76, listen to the wise man:) Moreover, seabright is just old! I used seabright bindings for many years on my Lacroix (bought in 94) with Raichles 121 until one day, 10 years later, one clip of the front bail broke in my hands...maybe it's things that can just happen but still, I think that with years the plastic may have become weaker. Hopefully didn't happen when riding nor in the middle of nowhere ps: however, I really like the little frog and have enjoyed for many years using those bindings...but it's not the topic today!:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowboardfast Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I agree don't skimp on bindings. The older bindings have a tendency to break especially on cold days because the plastic gets brittle. Also as said earlier bails will break. Better snap up those Cateks! Also the newer bindings are more adjustable and will allow you to progress better and enjoy it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
