K2 hurrithanes vs Burton Cobrasharks - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

Well, I won't recommend the contact pros then. If you want canting and the "control" of the cobrasharks, some used vitas would do you well.

I was at a shop event tonight, and while my own preference for bindings is moving to Unions (they're just best for what and how I ride), I was REALLY impressed by where Burton Missions are right now. Great pricepoint, and the best straps and buckles for the buck (if you don't like Union). Flux also has some REALLY nice binders out these days. Cushy straps. No pointless "tech".

I'm going to respectfully disagree with Matty.

If you go burton I say Cobrasharks are your best bet for the type of riding you do. Flexier baseplate, comfier straps, cheaper.

And, if you find cheap malavitas on ebay or something for the same price, get them.
What size do you wear?

Never ridden them. I think you'll be fine with any choice you make. Especially since you're intermediate.

Go with which ones look cooler.
