SailorDave17 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I think I found a radar senate blank (2014) for a decent price. Do I have to stick with radar bindings or are most brands interchangeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mmosley899 Posted June 29, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2015 @SailorDave17 most bindings have a standard hole pattern that allows them to attach to most skis... For a releasable binding check out OB4Systems.com Mike's Overall Binding USA Water Ski Senior Judge Senior Driver Senior Tech Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller slvrbulit Posted June 29, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2015 I mainly free ski, but always am always trying to practice while I am skiing. I have a senate with vector bindings and it seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricski39 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 While all of the ski companies have standardized their hole pattern for the front bindings, the same isn't true for the hole pattern for the rear binding. Basically, since you have a Radar ski, as far as the rear binding is concerned you want to look at Radar, HO or Obrien. A rear binding from Connelly or D3 will not fit on your Radar ski. As a side note, a rear plate from Radar is compatible with both the D3/Connelly and the HO/Radar/Obrien hole pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted June 29, 2015 Gold Member Share Posted June 29, 2015 I truly believe that a properly set up OB4 system is the safest commercially-available option. It's the only system that can eject each foot in every possible direction/rotation. But you do have to "pay attention" -- both to set it up correctly and to make sure it continues to function optimally (for example, WD40 on the pins every other set or so per the directions). If that sounds OK with you, and cost isn't a big factor, then stop reading and go buy a set! Another option that is pretty safe, but some would regard as slightly lower performance, is the Wiley rubber binding. Completely different style, but achieves a sort of "passive safety" by being very soft and therefore easy to eject from in most directions.

Baller gsm_peter Posted June 29, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 29, 2015 Radar Vector is also a great choice for that ski. Very comfortable compared to rubber and release safely (according to my experiences) Cover a broader range of feet sizes if some else also will use the ski.
