WAKESHOP VERDICT
Our take.
One of our strongest choices for a first wakeboard binding. The very soft flex makes the Index 6R forgiving and comfortable while learning, while the dual-zone lacing gives riders more control over fit than a basic single-lace design. It isn't aimed at riders looking for an aggressive, locked-in response, but for beginners and progressing recreational riders its combination of comfort, versatility and value is difficult to fault.

BEST FOR

WHY WE STOCK IT
Why it earned a place at WakeShop.
The Index 6R is exactly what we want from an entry-level binding: comfortable, forgiving and easy to use without feeling like a throwaway beginner product. Its wide size ranges also make it an excellent choice for family and shared setups.
