Binding Placement with Smaller Feet
Chris,
Where is the recommended starting point for binding placement for a small person (105lbs) on a 65" HO S8 with XS animal bindings? Is there a mid-point or place on the ski that should be used as a reference for the the distance from the front & rear heel or what? I know HO has their recommendations for distance from the front & rear heel, but I'm not sure that works with really small bindings?

i know you're looking for chris's reply, but if you don't mind my asking, what boat speed and rope length are you skiing at?

This is actually a question for a W5 who skis 15 off/30mph and sometimes 32mph.

Re: Binding Placement with Smaller Feet
The problem with skiers who have really small feet is that if you place them at the factory binding placement, they end up with a lot of ski behind them. The distance from the heel of the rear boot to the back of the ski is very important. I would say that distance would want to be like 16 3/4". Once you have that mounted, mount the front boot tight to the rear and give it a try!

Thanks Chris,
I'll give that a try - awesome skiing at Purity Spring last weekend!! Sorry about that liquid sunshine though.
