Which bindings?

My son and I are getting into wakeboarding we've had a board for a couple of years but had to redo the boat so the board sat for awhile. That being said went to use board last week and the bindings are dry rotted. Just wanted some advise on which bindings to buy that, we as novice riders, can are should use.Been looking on ebay but alot of choices and I don't wanna waste money. Thanks

I have the same cwb bindings. Bought from overtones as a package. Less than 300. They have worked well for a couple of years. Very pleased.

My advice would be to make sure you get bindings that are the correct fit. One of the dangers is that if you are sharing bindings and they are too big for your son his feet will slip even when doing basic tricks or he will catch an edge and his feet will move in the binding increasing the risk of injury.
When my partner started she was using somebody else's board and bindings and these were fine for the first few times on the water although she did always suffer from bruising around the ankles but as soon as she was getting to grips with edging and moving across the wake we spent the money on a set of closed toe bindings so that her feet would not slip or move when she caught an edge (it will happen).
You don't need to go with CT but you do need a pair that fit correctly.

I still have the first board I started with (hyperlite motive) and the setup is still in great condition but there is no way I can use it as I always get heal slip and movement when I land from a wake jump and this just increases the risk of either damaging my ankle or taking a scorpion to the back of my head.

Its possible to outgrow a board but you can always take your binding with you onto your next board.

I scored a pair of these on Ebay last winter delivered for $202. I absolutely love them and cannot say enough about them. They are a fitted boot so you have to get them in your specific size.

I just got a cwb faction board and bindings and I love them. Check out evo.com, if you look in their outlet they always have good deals and often have new brand name bindings for under 100. They always run specials of 20-40% off extra in their outlet. I got my cwb faction board and binding for like 275.00 during one of their sales.
