Wakeboard shock absorbers?

Saw a link for these thought it might be a good idea especially if you have knee issues, most of us do. Here is the link:

Those things look a bit gimicky.

I would concentrate on Cushy footbeds (most wakeboots have them anyway), proper technique, strengthen the muscles around the knee, and riding within your ability.

I know stuff happens though, and I have hurt my knee, back, ankle, elbow, head, etc doing board sports.

Yes I agree. I kinda laughed when I saw them. I have pretty cushy
LF bindings, I think I would buy the wakekite before those!

Are you kidding? Those things weigh over a pound a piece!

Just what we need, more mass to spin around....

Yeah, definitely a gimmick. Maybe a good idea for snowboarders, but not so much for wakeboarders.
