I would have thought you can swap the directionality on all boards? just remove the bindings flip the board and re-attach them.

How? Not even the North binding rail system can do that, if I'm not mistaking.

If it's a twin tip it should be the same either way.

On a twin tip? That's what I'm asking since none of any TT's I've seen you can do that!

Anyone ?

Dont know if you are serious, but if you have worn the board down on one side you might as well just drill some holes through it the place the straps where ever you want, cause the next trip will be to the tip

Yep, in the above example this would be the only option, you're right.

What I do not understand is WHY there is no such a board on the market. Or is it?

Hi Adrian from Underground and now Axis Kiteboarding. Our new Axis Inferno has the inserts along the centreline and as the laminate is balanced you could mount the bindings to ride either side. Our Axis Vanguard, Patrol and Limited all have asymmetric laminates with Uni carbon under the heelside only. These are designed to be ridden from one side only, we have offset the inserts to indicate they should be ridden from one side only.
Cheers Adrian

Thanks Adrian. Will have a look.

You can do that with my shinn I think, just has two screw options each side, either closer or wider... So it could be flipped and rode the other way...

Shinn? Didn't know that! Thanks

Yes i Have a shinn and thought you would be able to. Obviously some boards just dont have the option.

2013 Liquid force boards have something called Inline Inserts, so if you bust up one rail can switch binding around to ride the other rail.

If you board has a straight mounting system should work.

Skip to about 2mins

Tape up the worn rail both sides to form a tough, with masking tape, pour in any good epoxy and then clean up.

... Trough...

Thats your easiest n cheapest option
