Wakeboard with tubular frame and binding footplate having multidirectional adjustability

Abstract

A wakeboard having a substantially planar plastic base with a top surface and a bottom surface and a lightweight tubular alloy frame fastened at the top surface perimeter. The base is angled slightly proximate each of its ends. The frame is filled with a porous thermoplastic resin. The wakeboard further includes a novel binding system having a foot plate, a footpad, and a strap system. The bindings are secured to the base with mounting bolts having handles or knobs. The foot plate includes arcuate slots at each side of the footpad, each arcuate slot having a several transverse slots. Simple manual loosening of the mounting bolts permits multidirectional adjustment of the binding without the need to remove any part of the binding system from the board.
