Discover why GOODE Skis ski great ....

All GOODE bindings are designed for ease of entry and exit, maximum performance, control and stability. We offer two models of boots, the rubber Performance Series High Wrap and the Power-Shell^TM Hard-Shell system. Constructed with the highest quality materials, they are lighter than most of our competitors' bindings.

Performance Series Bindings

The Performance Series High Wrap is used by tournament water skiers and features thick rubber for extra lateral support to eliminate unwanted movement. The Performance Series can be custom sized using the rubber overlays.

Custom Size the Performance Bindings using the following instructions:

GET WET: Make sure the foot and the bindings are wet before attempting the following adjustments.

ADJUST BINDING WIDTH: N/A

ADJUST LATERAL SUPPORT: Remove the binding from the ski. Unscrew rear horseshoe from under the plate. Pull or loosen rubber overlay to desired size. Replace horseshoe. Screw the binding to the ski. Test adjustment while skiing. Once exact overlay placement is decided, GOODE recommends cutting off any extra rubber one inch or more beyond the edge of the plate to prevent excess rubber from dragging in the water.

Rubber Boot Sizing

The following chart is a size selection guide for the GOODE rubber boots. The boots should be fitted so they are not tight. If you require arch supports or orthotics, allow for the necessary extra room.

Binding Installation

The binding should be installed using #10 stainless steel sheet metal screws, 5/8" long. The heel of the front boot should be located at the following area:

It is important to measure from the back of the front boot rubber (inside of horseshoe) to the end of the ski tail or in the case of the PowerShell to measure to the back of the front PowerShell boot.

To install bindings on the ski, place the front binding on the ski in the proper location. Screw the binding screws (#10 stainless steel sheet metal screws, 5/8" long) into the ski with a power screwdriver (use a #2 Phillips bit). It is not necessary to drill a pilot hole. DO NOT OVER TORQUE SCREWS WITH THE POWER DRIVER. THIS WILL STRIP THE INSERTS AND VOID THE WARRANTY. HAND TIGHTEN THE LAST FEW THREADS. Position rear binding and repeat the same steps to mount the front binding.

Remounting - if you are placing bindings on a ski that has previously been mounted, be sure to space the new screw holes at least 1/4" apart from the existing holes. You should NEVER have more than 24 holes in your ski (normally two sets of binding holes) or the ski may break causing injury.

Ski Binding Adjustment

The rubber bindings allow for a .5" movement in either direction. GOODE recommends installing them in their center-most position, and adjust from there if needed. Moving the bindings back will cause the tip of the ski to rise out of the water and to lose angle across the wake. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO MOVE YOUR BINDINGS FORWARD OF RECOMMENDATION. IT IS VERY COMMON FOR FIRST TIME SKIERS TO FEEL LIKE "THE WATER IS NOT BREAKING IN THE RIGHT SPOT" AND FOR THEM TO MOVE THE BINDINGS FORWARD. THIS FORWARD ADJUSTMENT CAN CAUSE THE SKI NOT TO TURN. IT IS BETTER TO SKI ON THE SKI FOR A WHILE, ADJUSTING YOUR WEIGHT AND THEN BRING THE TIP DOWN WITH A FIN ADJUSTMENT, NOT A BINDING MOVEMENT.
