It's absolutely perfect for any rider of any ability. We stand by that! The RDX is known for being predictable and reliable, even for a Progressive 3-Stage Rocker shape. It'll give you the pop you're looking for and exactly when you expect it leaving the lip of the wake whether you're sending it out to the flats or dialing in a trick wake-to-wake. The Transits have a higher cuff profile which leverages extra support for higher impact landings. As you start pushing your tricks to new heights and expanding your reach out into the flats, having a more performance driven pair of bindings becomes very important. It'll keep you out on the water longer, dialing in more tricks! Not only is the RDX w/ Transit combo great for beginning riders all the way up to the pro-level circuit, but its offered in five different sizes ranging from a 130cm all the way up to a 146cm. There's an RDX package for everyone, seriously.
