“I have to admit I’ve had my doubts about the Flow bindings. Something about the rear-entry system has just not left me feeling overly confident in the safety of the bindings, but then again, doesn’t one always struggle to trust things that are unfamiliar.

“The strapping in, or whatever you’re meant to call it with these, was ridiculously easy and fast – loved it!”

I’m ashamed to admit that this was my first season to step into a pair of Flow bindings, but I’m happy I finally overcame my fear of the unknown. The strapping in, or whatever you’re meant to call it with these, was ridiculously easy and fast – loved it!

The conditions for trying out something unknown weren’t ideal though. The pistes were partly icy, it was snowing, and you couldn’t see shit – a great day all in all. But I made my way down, and up again, and down, continuing to enjoy riding the Mayon’s to the point that I actually forgot they were any different to “normal” bindings.

It might have been the bad weather conditions, or just in my head, but I didn’t feel the binding to be as secure as my normal go-to-bindings. However, I like my bindings to be a bit more on the stiff side to give my riding a bit more aggression, so it might have just been a case of a too soft flex.

I do however think the Flow Mayon’s would make a great choice for the ladies out there who are just beginning to snowboard, or the ones who are looking to take their riding to the next level.”
