Our Take

The Surge ST is for splitboarders who want more support and response in a backcountry binding. The solid baseplate, stiff highback and supportive straps make it a strong choice for bigger riders, aggressive riding and technical lines where precise board control really matters.

Spark's Tesla T1 system keeps transitions straightforward, while the Smooth Touring components reduce friction at the touring brackets and climbing wires. It is a proven, no-nonsense binding for riders prioritizing downhill power without sacrificing efficient touring.
