RVL8 Softboot Bindings

Note: This product comes with everything you need to start using snowboard bindings on your 4x4 skiboards. (bindings, risers, highback wings, 3rd straps and hardware)
The holy grail of skiing has always been to chuck your uncomfortable hard ski boots and enjoy the soft comfort of snowboarding boots. While this is just a pipe dream for traditional skiers, skiboarders on the other hand have been experimenting with this option for a many years now. Through trial and error and community knowledge sharing the current softboot solution has been tested and perfected. The main points we've learned are:
A) While you can take any snowboard bindings and attach them to quality 4x4 skiboards the resulting ride is so poor it outweighs any softboot comfort gains.

B) For this to work 3 things are required:
  • RISER - to lift the bindings so they don't hit the snow when carving.
  • EXTRA WIDE THIRD STRAP - to lock your boot down so you can carve
  • RIGID, WINGED HIGHBACK - to provide a lateral support structure and a rigid surface for the third strap.
C) No snowboarding company makes a binding with these 3 features so skiboarders had to make or modify their own.
