It may come as no surprise that Union’s Ultra bindings are a high-end beast.

Team tested with help from Bryan Iguchi, Gigi Ruf and Travis Rice – they’ve been made with a Forged Carbon highback which gives response to the surfy feel of the Minidisk baseplate.

With only 5% binding-to-board contact, you’re looking at minimal interference and the most natural flex of your board. And to pad out the whole construction – they’re using Vaporlite 2.0 foam that maintains superior dampening – even in cold and wet conditions.
