Features
Stiff & Powerful
The Surge ST is trusted by professional big line riders and mountain town legends alike. It’s a powerful binding perfect for big days and big lines.
Solid baseplate design, stiffer Asym Rip ‘N’ Flip Highbacks, and more supportive Pillow Line Ankle Straps combine to give riders greater control in demanding terrain. All Surge ST bindings incorporate Spark's industry-leading Tesla T1 technology. Smooth Touring (ST) Tech is featured on ST Brackets and ST Whammy Bars. These components utilize a proprietary thermoplastic blend that is molded over the metal part reducing friction, increasing durability, and improving touring efficiency.
- Surge Asym Rip 'N' Flip Highbacks — The Surge ST Asym Rip ‘N’ Flip Highback has a high amount of glass fiber fill for a stiff ride and maximum response. The bindings feature individual left and right highbacks for improved ergonomics, comfort, and control. The upper section of the highback is flatter giving riders excellent lateral mobility. All Rip ‘N’ Flip highbacks incorporate a tool-free forward lean adjuster (FLAD) that easily toggles between tour and ride mode.
- ST Touring Brackets — ST Touring Brackets incorporate the best features of aluminum and thermoplastics. Spark overmolds their custom plastic blend over and through the holes in the aluminum base, forming bushings that last four times longer than their previous brass version.
- ST Whammy Bars — The ST Whammy Bar climbing wire is built right into the baseplate. Overmolded plastic where the bar contacts the baseplate allows for super-smooth climbing wire position changes in the steeps. You can switch easily from stowed, to low (12°), to high (18°), and back again while touring.
- Pillow Line Straps — Pillow Line Straps are lightweight, durable, comfortable, waterproof, one-piece molded construction, and made 100% in-house. Arc ST Ankle Straps are smaller around the boot than the Surge ST and feature a flex window for max agility while maintaining support. Toe straps are designed to be used as a toe cap, but also fit nicely as a traditional strap across the top of the boot.
- Puck Compatibility — Slide them on and snap the ramp down. Snap the ramp up and slide them off. The most functional way to attach your binding to your board in ride mode. Spark R&D bindings are designed to work with all puck-compatible splitboards.
- Tesla Snap Ramp — T1 System bindings slide sideways into the offset touring bracket and are locked into place with our snap ramp. No pins, no cables, no fiddle factor. Integrated Ibex crampon mounting claws on touring brackets make for quick and easy installation and removal.
- T1 Heel Rest — The T1 Heel Rest catches the climbing wire in the 12° and 18° positions and is specifically designed to hold the T1 Step Locker in place.
- Buckels & Plastics — Ladders and adjusters are produced in-house with unique thermoplastics that maintain flex over a wide temperature range, performing well on spring tours as well as sub-zero suffer fests. All straps incorporate Burton's time-tested buckles.
In the Box: Splitboard bindings, ST Brackets, T1 Heel Rests, mounting screws, and Spark Pocket Tool.
What else do I need? A set of Spark Flat Pucks or Spark Canted Pucks.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Surge ST Bindings
How do I know what size binding will work with my board?
Choose Medium for men’s 8.5–10.5, women’s 9.5–11.5, EU 41–43, or Mondo 26–27.5; choose Large for men’s 10.5+, women’s 11.5+, EU 43+, or Mondo 27.5+. The bindings use a puck-compatible mounting system for puck-compatible splitboards.
Will these bindings fit my boots, or do I need a specific boot type?
These bindings are made for softboots, with Medium and Large sizing based on your boot size. They are not suited to hardboots.
How do I know if these bindings are right for my riding style and the terrain I ride?
The Surge ST is a stiff freeride splitboard binding built for big days, big lines, and demanding backcountry terrain. Its powerful baseplate, supportive ankle straps, and stiff highbacks prioritize control and response over a softer, more playful feel.
How much flexibility do these bindings allow, and does that affect how the board responds?
These bindings have a stiff flex, with glass-fiber-filled Asym Rip ’N’ Flip highbacks engineered for maximum response. The flatter upper highback section still gives you lateral mobility while the overall platform emphasizes control in demanding terrain.
How responsive are these bindings to small weight shifts and movements?
The stiff, glass-fiber-filled Asym Rip ’N’ Flip highbacks are built for maximum response, while the solid baseplate and supportive ankle straps add control. This is a control-focused binding for precise riding in big lines and demanding terrain.
What tools do I need to set up and adjust these bindings?
The package includes mounting screws and a Spark Pocket Tool for setup. You also need a set of Spark Flat Pucks or Spark Canted Pucks to mount the bindings to a compatible splitboard.
Can I swap these bindings between different boards easily?
These bindings slide onto puck-compatible splitboards and secure with the snap ramp, then slide off when the ramp is raised. That tool-free ride-mode interface makes them compatible across puck-compatible splitboard setups.
How long do these bindings typically last with regular riding?
These bindings carry a five-year warranty and use ST Touring Bracket bushings designed to last four times longer than the previous brass version. Smooth Touring Tech also reduces friction and is designed to increase durability during touring.
Will the straps start to wear out or lose their grip over time?
Pillow Line Straps use lightweight, durable, waterproof, one-piece molded construction, and the ladders and adjusters maintain flex across a wide temperature range. These materials are built to perform from spring tours to sub-zero conditions.
How do these bindings hold up in wet, icy, and cold conditions?
Waterproof Pillow Line Straps and temperature-stable thermoplastic ladders and adjusters are built for spring touring through sub-zero conditions. Smooth Touring Tech overmolds plastic at metal contact points to reduce friction and improve touring efficiency.
