Years ago it started with a test and a conversation with jjue and now years later I'm excited to bring a very high quality snowboard binding to market with locally produced risers and wings that can be swapped between 4x4 skiboards in seconds with just your fingers. Thanks Jack!

New Softboot Bindings for Skiboards, with a "Twist"

I have a set of Flow 11 snowboard bindings. They only have two straps. But, they do have a really wide metatarsal cover. The mounting disc is 110mm diameter. The heel cup does not appear to be metal.
I have a set of Van's 'Contra' boots that have a single BOA system.
Those are both really good quality items. I'd love to try these on skiboards.
But I have to admit though, I get analysis paralysis trying to figure out what I need to make that happen.
I'd love to be able to use these snowboard boots with an AT setup and climbing skins. Not sure if that's even possible.
I'm certainly open to specific recommendations to help sort this out.

I ordered these.....it took me a week to get Greco to take my money. I was looking last year at snowboards, and this tipped the scales for a snowboard, boots, and bindings. When I get them mounted to my sticky ickies I will send pics. I still don't know what boa boots and snowboard I am getting. Christmas is coming early for the Wagner household.

I toyed with the idea of drilling a missouri riser or trying to create my own riser and trying to get a splitboard binding to work but abandoned the idea .Boards :

Greco , nice new softboot binding line up . I especially like the idea of offering different sized bindings for folks with smaller boot sizes ! Also if you have two pair of skiboards you alternate between , it would be really cool to buy a second riser speed disc setup for your other board and just swap bindings with no tools in seconds.!Boards :

Like Greco says you need the missouri riser and wings and a third strap for the highback to make the Flow binding work for skiboards. You could use snowboard boots in a frame AT binding ( or step in release bindings) by buying an external frame system for the snowboard boots . such as Envy or Mad Jacks. The combined weight though of snowboard boots and binding frame is heavier then many standard skiboots.

Would a envy or madjack frame work with an AT binding like the Marker F12 or some other tour binding?
