Cheers I did alpine boarding for about 8yrs and it was a blast! These bindings are the last piece of snow boarding equipment to go. But it makes a lot of sense for me to switch from snow boarding to snow kiting. Snow kiting is a good complement to kiteboarding as I can use the same kites, no lift tickets and a fraction of the drive, can use the same boots, clothing. Snow kiting offers some similar thrills so the shift has been relatively easy :) You do need wind but in the winter that's usually not problem. (knock on wood) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidad62 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 hi what size boot does the short plate fit. i have thirteen feet will they work for my boots thank you:sleep: ahhhh... no. Short plates are only good under size 10 and under 180 lbs. You need long plates big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 beetle3, Catek recommends the short plates for sizes under 10 and riders under 180 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonrider Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I wonder what happen if rider over 180 lbs on shortplate. 185 lbs rider ?my boot is 9.5 fit the short plate perfect but i am over the weight that they recomended. any comment or suggestion. thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Off of Catek's website: The Short Plate is ideal for smaller boot sizes (<10US) and lighter (<180lbs) riders. The 3/8" thickness provides a more forgiving ride than the long plate. The Long Plate accepts all boot sizes (up to 31.5MP, depending on the boot), and its 1/2" thickness provides the most powerful ride on the market. Riders weighing more than 180lbs or with a boot size greater than 10US must use the long plate. To each their own, companys make these recommendations for a reason. Personaly if I were in your position it would not concern me at all, but that is only 'my' opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcarving Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks for helping out. I've updated the add so folks can easier determine size suitability. I should've bought long plates in hindsight :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 5lbs over the recommended weight. If you were racing for a living it might matter a lot but I bet you could get by with these bindings for regular carving :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
