Switching to walk-liner boots?

Hey everyone!

​I’ve been wakeboarding for about a year now, strictly riding cable park. Right now, I’m riding Liquid Force Tao boots and honestly, I love them. The feel, the flex, and the comfort are amazing.

​However, the walk back to the dock barefoot on rocks, gravel, and hot concrete is getting really annoying! 😅

​So I’m debating whether it’s worth upgrading to boots with removable walk liners:

​Liquid Force Terra: Since I love LF, these caught my eye. However, they seem significantly stiffer than the Tao. For those who've tried both, is the flex difference really noticeable on the water?

​Slingshot: I know Slingshot walk-liner boots are hugely popular. I’m not a huge fan of their look, but everyone says they perform great. Are they worth it despite the aesthetic?

​My bottom line question: Is the convenience of walk liners actually worth switching boots, considering I’d 100% stick with my Taos if barefoot walking wasn't an issue?

​Would love to hear your experiences or recommendations! Thanks! 🤙

Boots

I just got my new wakeboard. I've just mounted my bindings on it—they're Liquid Force Tao. When I look at the distance between the toe of the boots and the edge of the board, I have 8 cm, but between the heel and the edge, I have 6 cm. Is this normal? Apparently, I can't adjust this setting on my boots.

Wakeboard size

Hello,

​I’ve been cable wakeboarding for a season now and I’m starting to hit features and kickers. I’m currently riding a 143 cm Slingshot Shredtown, and I’m really interested in the Slingshot Coalition. As for my build, I’m 1m74 (5'8.5") and weigh 70 kg (154 lbs). I’m torn between two sizes: 145 cm and 149 cm. Could you advise me on which size would be best suited for my profile, riding level, and progression on features?

​Will I notice a big difference switching from the Shredtown to the Coalition?

​Also, would it make sense for my son, who is 1m72 (5'7.5") and 52 kg (115 lbs), to take over my 143 Shredtown? He’s currently riding a 138 Hyperlite Union.

​Would you like me to answer your questions about the board choices and sizes for you and your son as well?
