Bindings are what connect you to your board. Responsiveness, comfort control, adjustability, flex and easy in and out are what you're looking for. It's important to hook up the right bindings, your choice should be based on the type of rider you are, your style, and the terrain you shred.

Customizing your bindings gives your stance unlimited options and should be set how you feel most comfortable when riding. Different bindings suit different people. High-end bindings tend to have cushier straps, nicer fixtures and stiffer base plates for comfort, support and additional response. Boards and bindings from the same manufacturer work nice together as they are created together and lived side by side in the design process.
