A new ASTM International standard addresses size and position of thread inserts for wakeboards. The standard was developed by ASTM’s snow and water sports committee ( F27 ). As ASTM International member Bethany Suderman explains, threaded inserts are used to attach wakeboard bindings to the wakeboard. Each manufacturer specifies where the threaded inserts are positioned on a wakeboard. This…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #11521 ###, ,
