CWB Kink '09 with CWB Zeus Evo '07 bindings (hinge tech, gotta have it if you have big feet).
Love this setup - looks sharp, and got a steal on it last summer from a shop up in Wisconsin. The combo has really advanced my riding and the binders are way better than my beginner board (as long as you don't expect them to let go of you). I'm not ready for inverts yet - but my friend who does them, flys easy on this setup versus when he was using my older/beginner board (I think it was a '06 CWB Faze with CWB Seven bindings - big deep fins)
The Kink does have adjustable fins that slide in and out, depending on how much tracking you want - I've never adjusted them - I'm pretty sure I have them set to advanced cause it rides like ice when you have butter until you get used to the freedom. Anyone else use/comment on the adjustable "sliding" fins from CWB?

I have no plans to do inverts but a friend who is a decent rider (normally on a Lyman 143) rode mine and really liked it.
The best way that I have found is to lock in the heel first, then just barely snug the laces. This allows good board control and still have an escape route for your feet in a crash.
It looks more brown than black. Which reminds me, I need to try to do something about that!
