The Connelly Empire Wakeboard Bindings are open-toe performance boots built for intermediate through competition-level riders using compatible wakeboards behind the boat or at the cable park. Their Infinity Plate chassis creates a lightweight baseless foundation, while the open-toe shape accommodates a broad range of foot sizes. A 3D molded tongue follows the top of the foot for a more precise connection, and the single-piece Cush liner works with a deep heel pocket and Achilles pads to support active riding.

The Empire uses a single adjustable lace system with a custom Gorilla Grip pull handle for quick tension changes. A high-density EVA footbed provides cushioning for repeated starts, wake crossings, and flat landings. Its medium 5–6/10 flex delivers more structured support than a soft beginner boot while retaining practical mobility for boat and cable sessions. Available sizing includes S/M for U.S. men’s sizes 5–8, L/XL for sizes 9–12, and 2XL for sizes 12–14. M6 stainless fasteners complete the mounting system.

For Boat and Cable Performance Riding

The Empire bindings are designed for intermediate, advanced, and competition-level riders who want supportive open-toe boots for boat wakeboarding and cable park sessions. The 5–6/10 flex provides a more structured feel for riders working on faster edging, wake jumps, rails, and technical riding. Choose S/M for U.S. men’s sizes 5–8, L/XL for sizes 9–12, or 2XL for sizes 12–14. Mount the bindings using M6 stainless fasteners and adjust the lace system before every ride.

Why Choose Connelly Empire Wakeboard Bindings

The Empire combines adaptable open-toe sizing with a more performance-oriented support package for riders moving beyond basic entry-level boots. Its Infinity Plate chassis, 3D molded tongue, Cush liner, deep heel pocket, Achilles pads, Gorilla Grip lace adjustment, and high-density EVA footbed create a defined fit system for active riding. The 5–6/10 flex makes it suitable for riders who want more direct response during boat or cable wakeboarding without switching to a closed-toe binding.
