Flow
The Flow binding system is a hybrid of traditional strap-in bindings and step-in bindings. Flow bindings offer the ease of entry with the snug fit of a strap-in binding. To strap in:
- Flip down the clip
- Lower the high back
- Slide in your boot
- Lift the high back
- Flip the clip back into place
The "sock" section of the binding which holds your foot in place is adjustable via four straps, meaning more adjustment options with less stress on each strap compared to traditional strap-ins. Flow bindings do have disadvantages as well. The high backs do not fold down unless you undo your four straps, meaning you will lose your settings. Without the high backs folded down, it is hard to get your board into some board bags and may cause problems with roof racks. Some riders also report that they do not find them as snug as they can get traditional strap-in bindings.
I have ridden strap-ins for the last three years and just switched to flow bindings this year. You do give up a little bit of snugness but I can also strap myself in while moving, which is pretty awesome in itself.

So i just got flow bindings last week, and well they are really great yeah haha, but i was putting my boot in and the pin fro the clip snapped, but itw as an easy fix with a nail. Flow Bindings are really good there is a lot of contriversy between Traditional and flow bindings because apparently you dont get to have the “Traditional jest when your stapping the bindings in with your mates.” So yeah people think that Flow bindings are just a waste of your money…they are not beause you dont take forever and you can be up the hill and dow as fast as you can! So i guess that it is just personal preference and well if you get em’ you get em’ if you dont you dont.
