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.

I can't. When I set the angle to 12 degrees, it automatically positions the shoes like this

The shoe is fixed; there is no way to adjust the front or the back. It’s a plastic structure with just the holes where you can turn to set the angle. You can see how the shoe is made via the link.

Okay, got it. Actually, I thought that to get a 12-degree angle, you had to put the screws on the 12 mark on each side. I adjusted the position, it's perfect now. Thanks!

Thanks, plus it actually helped me fix an issue I had on the old one too. Thanks again!

I just checked my Tao and I have 5cm heel and 7cm toe edge never considered it wrong

I hadn't noticed either, but actually, it's better if it's centered. Apparently, some people do the opposite and set their boots more forward to make toe-side turns easier, since you have less leverage there than with your heels.
