PRODUCT NAME: RICKY GONZALEZ
AVAILABLE SIZES: 6-7, 8-9, 10, 11, 12-13
COLOR: BLACK, WITH RED THREAD ACCENTS
MSRP: $360.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The much-awaited closed toe Ricky Gonzalez binding is now out. Built atop our new Gator True One Piece Plate. This binding is strong and very light – the lightest close toe in the industry. We used a snowboard boot-like molded liner with more padding and very soft Boomerang Shaped Heel Kidneys. These heel kidneys support the Achilles tendon and run down the round joint of your ankle making a perfect heel pocket and keeping the back of your foot in place. The whole closed toe liner is designed to support your foot and give you more response down into your board. A more finished dual layered stretch zone was also used for a more stable feel when on your heel side edge. This Dual layer stretch zone in combination with the closed toe design gives you a quicker binding to board reaction. No more loss of leverage due to stretchy open toe bindings. The EVA foot bed has a cupped design for better response in pressured areas. Also, the foot bed has drainage holes, which drain down the bottom of the plate and out the back of the heel through a non-obtrusive arch.
We at Gator Boards are super stoked to see smiles on everyone who tries a pair of these bindings on.
Attention to detail, we used high-end materials on this binding with actual laser engraved details etched into the newbuck material. Embroidered art matches Ricky’s newly shaped board with traditional tattoo inspired artwork.

PRODUCT NAME: Gator
AVAILABLE SIZES: 6-7, 8-9, 10, 11, 12-13
COLORWAY: Black and White
MSRP: $370.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Brought from the roots of snowboarding, this binding offers the strength and control that every rider should demand. The Gator binding daunts a new aluminum co-injected plate. There is literally a plate inside a plate. We were out to design the strongest binding on the market so we made the inner aluminum plate run to the back of the heel area. This cuts out dreaded heel lift and makes this binding ultra responsive. This design also looks really cool. We kept windows in the Nylon plate design, so you can see the aluminum. Then we anodized and laser etched the aluminum to match the art on the Gator Pro model metal badge. We used an ultra soft snowboard, like liner, sewn to the plate. Then we lasted the whole boot to get rid of any hot spots, this makes for a perfect fit. We also incorporated a webbed ankle strap that crosses the top portion of the ankle to keep your heel down and in place. Two lace locks with pulls that slide away in to specially designed pockets. We paid attention to every detail, with drain holes in both sides of the plate’s heel area. Soft boomerang shaped heel kidneys to help lock in your heel. A specially designed EVA foot bed with more cushion in the heel for shock absorption and a thinner cupped toe area for more response. This whole binding was designed for the rider who wants the very best. Put this new gator binding on the new Gator Pro model wakeboard (a carbon fiber wrapped board with ATCS – Adjustable Track Control System) and you will have the best wakeboard setup money can buuy not to mention one of the lightest. If you want the best, look no further.
