Description
The AK Boost binding features simplicity, comfort, and durability at its finest. With a single Velcro closure, the strap is quick and easy to tighten or loosen for various foot sizes, with or without booties. The single-density footbed forms a sturdy but soft feel underfoot. The Boost offers two size options to fit the smallest to the largest foot. The baseplate is pre-curved to create a tensioned connection to your board, making the edge of the binding harder to lift, avoiding debris and kite line catches.
