Wakeboard Hardware parts essential for proper and safe Wakeboarding

A working knowledge about wakeboard hardware is the key to enjoying this extreme water sport with an ease of mind. If you have watched any rider wakeboarding through the dangerous wakes, you will immediately find that the entire adventure takes quite a few basic components. Unless each of these hardware parts function correctly, you could topple over any time and meet an accident.

Your primary knowledge will go a long way to help you find out defects or hardware malfunctions in time and make the necessary changes to keep the wakeboarding experience safe. Hence, it always helps to have a basic idea about the configuration of the entire wakeboarding arrangement. After all, the board alone does not hit the waters. Each of the small and apparently invisible accessories of the wakeboard hardware will determine how you fare through the wakes.

In order to keep the entire wakeboarding configuration in sound shape, it may sometimes become necessary to affix some extra pieces of wakeboard hardware. You should get hold of bones binding stiffeners to reduce the friction in the plates. The continuous friction of the plates during your turns and jumps could lead to overheating and subsequent erosion of wakeboard parts.

The bones binding stiffener setup is manufactured as a kit consisting of four bones, four binding screws and an Allen key. The binding stiffeners being made of technically milled aluminum come with set pins designed to prevent them from rotating. The bones are particularly made to fit any type of holes.

Due to the violent motion and constant tug and pull that the wakeboards are subjected to, it is quite possible to have a loose bolt at times that may eventually drop unnoticed into the water, turning your wakeboarding experience into a perilous one. Hence, you should always stay on the safe side by keeping some binding wakeboard hardware on board during every single venture. These are portable due to their lightweight, durable and easy to use during emergencies.

The wakeboard binding lubes available today with unique lubricating properties are different from traditional wakeboard binding lubes because of their quick water solubility and easy sliding. However, it is not enough to have the binding lubes alone – you usually need four binding clamps for CWB wakeboard bindings. If your wakeboard contains CWB bindings with six new Plates, you can use the clamps very conveniently without professional assistance.

In order to prevent your wakeboard fins from damage, you should always stay prepared with a washer set and four-pack screws. These flat machine head screws measure 1.25 inches custom made to fit in the screw holes of any wakeboard. This set also contains both metal and plastic washers. Use the metallic ones for greater strength and durability while the plastic ones will be lightweight and free from the problem of rust.

If you are worried about the screws coming out of the threads, udders could help you fix this problem. The wakeboarding udders are usually made of the same materials used in bowling balls and harder skate wheels to provide you toughness and durability. It is good to remain equipped with a 60-foot roll of grip tape to enhance your hold on your wakeboard.

Remember that wakeboarding is a risky sport and you should always protect your head with wakeboard helmets designed with removable earpieces. You could substitute wakeboard towers with a pylon facilitated with four strong braces to gain that extra time in air for doing wonder tricks. Make sure you attach a stainless steel monkey bar, which is basically the tower, to the back of the wakeboard boat to keep its bow stable while performing your extreme wakeboarding skills.
