Hi Ryan, great history of boot bindings and your documentary of wakeboarding itself!!! Along with the Wakesports Hall of Fame! I have Jeremy Kovak's Competiton board, that he owned, from 1993- 1995 I'm guessing with the hyperlite style bindings. But they were labelled Connelly, just like the Orange and Black Connelly board he was riding then. "It is his board" with the 2 body glove stickers on it (with the point at the tip). It was given to me in 1997. The interview you did with him on Wakesports Hall of Fame would be the picture from "WBM circa 95' ...catching Big Air!!! Fantastic interview you did with Jeremy and one of the true pioneers of Wakeboarding ! And one of the best ever to shred water! A true legend and athlete! Oh and yes dish soap was mandatory to get into the boot binding...lol....old school.

@user-jr7dx6tu5o Thank you very much for your comments and support of my channel and the work I do for the Wakesports Hall of Fame. It's greatly appreciated! Jeremy was an amazing rider and competitor, so technical and clean. I really enjoyed interviewing him for the WHF since it had been nearly 20 years since he was involved with the sport and I felt he deserved a lot more respect than was given to him in his later years before he retired. Again, thanks for your support!

I never really dug the HL Highbacks, the overlays ripped too easily, at least they did for me.

I remember getting the heel straps to add to my skurfer, wild improvement. Then later, I always wanted the badass binding wraps to lock in better, but couldn't afford them. Very cool video!
