How to Adjust Flow Bindings Properly

Step-in snowboard bindings are a thing of the past. They were discarded by the industry, along with baggy pants, due to lack of functionality. Today's snowboard community embraces Flow bindings as the closest thing to a functional step-in. With ease of entry combined with conventional foot support, Flow's performance on snow is unrivaled by its competitors. Spending time on the initial set-up guarantees you won't be left fumbling with your equipment in the snow.

Instructions

    • 1

      Lay your snowboard, mounted with Flow bindings, on a carpet or surface that will not scratch the base.

    • 2

      Release the lever located on the rear of the highback by pulling it down from the top. This allows the highback to fold down and out of the way for foot placement.

    • 3

      Press in the ratchet tabs on all four of the instep pad's ladder straps. Slide them out to the largest setting.

    • 4

      Insert your foot, outfitted with your snowboard boot, into the binding.

    • 5

      Adjust all four of the ladder ratchets located on the instep pad. Pinch each ratchet tab with your fingers and move it back and forth. This allows the ratchet to engage the teeth on the ladder strap and tighten the pad to your boot.

    • 6

      Flip up the highback lever. Note if the tension on the highback is too tight or too loose for your liking.

    • 7

      Disengage the highback lever and spin its metal nut to tighten or loosen the pressure of the highback.

    • 8

      Reengage the highback and make any micro adjustments that you see fit.
